Church of Alibeglo

The Church of Alibeglo features a domed rectangular design with a protruding apse and extended western section, crowned by a bell tower at its western end.

Built in 1871, this religious structure emerged during a period of Christian revival in the Hereti region, following earlier restoration work between 1850 and 1855.

The temple bears the name of Saint Nino, a central figure in Georgian Christianity who introduced the faith to the region in the fourth century.

The temple maintains regular services for the Georgian Orthodox community and can be reached through the road network connecting major settlements in Qakh District.

Located near the Georgian border at coordinates 41°22′36″N 46°50′02″E, the church represents the continuation of Georgian Orthodox traditions within Azerbaijan's territory.
