Allar Cave, Archaeological cave in Allar village, Yardymli Rayon, Azerbaijan.

Located on the left bank of the Vilesh River at an elevation of 1,993 meters, Allar Cave features numerous geological formations and cavern passages.

Archaeological excavations in 1993 led to the discovery of nine Middle Paleolithic stone tools, indicating early human settlements in the Yardymli region.
