Bashikesik Dome

Baku, March 14, AZERTAC

Bashikesik Dome is one of the historical monuments located in Daghtumas village of Jabrayil district.

The dome built in the 13th-14th centuries was named “Bashikesik dome” (Headless dome) due to its open ceiling.

Despite the restoration of the historical monument before the occupation, in 1993 several parts of the walls of the dome were destroyed by the Armenian armed forces.
