Basilica in Qum village, Early Christian basilica in Qum village, Azerbaijan.
The three-aisled basilica features a rectangular hall measuring 36.5 by 19.3 meters, with L-shaped pillars dividing the interior into three distinct sections.
The basilica dates back to the 6th-7th centuries and stands as one of the earliest documented Christian monuments in Caucasian Albania.
