Gulustan Fortress, Medieval fortress in Goranboy District, Azerbaijan
Located at the foothills of Murovdag, the fortress extends 250 meters east to west and occupies a commanding position above Incechay river at 1700 meters elevation.
The fortress served as the residence for the Armenian noble house of Beglaryan between the 12th and 17th centuries, governing the Armenian Principality of Gulustan.
The fortress walls vary in thickness from 0.8 meters on the north side to 1.5 meters on the south, demonstrating advanced medieval military architecture techniques.
The primary entrance to the fortress lies on the southeast side, with three sides protected by natural precipices and the northern section bordered by forest.
A hidden pathway leads from the fortress down to the river, allowing defenders to maintain water access during times of conflict or siege.
