Tigranakert Fortress, Ancient fortress in Aghdam District, Azerbaijan.
The fortress extends across 50 hectares of land, featuring stone walls, defensive towers, and remnants of residential buildings near the Khachinchay River.
Built between 120 and 80 BC during the reign of the Artaxiad dynasty, the fortress witnessed a major battle in 625 AD between Byzantine and Sasanian forces.
Archaeological excavations at the site revealed inscriptions in Armenian and Greek languages, indicating the presence of diverse cultural influences in the region.
The fortress remains can be accessed through designated routes in the Aghdam District, with visitors needing to obtain necessary permissions before exploring the site.
The fortress grounds contain the foundations of Shahbulag Castle, constructed in the mid-18th century by Panah Ali directly over the ancient structures.
