Bayat Castle, Medieval fortification in Kebirli village, Tartar District, Azerbaijan.
The castle features defense walls, warfare trenches, a market area, bath house, and mosque constructed with hard burned bricks.

The fortress received its name from the Turkic Bayat clan and represents the military architecture of 18th-century Azerbaijan.
