Ancient Cemetery, Gulgat, Quba, Azerbaijan
The ancient cemetery in Gulgat (Qulqat), Quba (קובה), Azerbaijan (Azərbaycan), located on the road between Kaladyuz (Qələduz) and Kyupchal (Küpçal).
Description
Gulgat is a reported location of Jewish settlement prior to the establisment of Qırmızı Qəsəbə (Qirmizi Qasaba, Krasnaya Sloboda) approximately 350 years ago.
Located about 5km along the river, some residents in Qırmızı Qəsəbə suggested their belief that the clearly old river-stone cemetery in this area was the cemetery for this either exclusively or predominantly Jewish settlement. Locals in the area were not able to confirm this. Most agreed that it is very old and of unknown origins.
