Before the deportation of Azerbaijanis in 1988, there were the remains of a mosque in the village.
The toponym was formed from the combination of the word "al" meaning "red" in the ancient Azerbaijani language and the word "dere" meaning "deep hole" and the name meaning is "red valley". The village was named Aldara because the soil of the area where the village was built consists of red rocks 102. It is a toponym with a complex structure based on relief. There were churches, castles and various monuments of the XIV-XVI centuries in Aldara village. Aldara Mosque is one of these historical monuments. Aldara village mosque was one of the places that the people protected, owned and worshiped for many years as a holy place. As a result of Andranik's attack in 1918, the village and the mosque building were burned. During the Soviet rule, the mosque became a ruin because it was not allowed to restore it. The remains of the mosque, which was half-demolished during the Soviet era, remained until the 1988 deportation .
After the 1988 genocide of West Azerbaijani Turks, this holy place was also destroyed by Armenians. In the territory of the ancient Aghadeda pilgrimage, there were historical monuments with examples of ancient Turko-Oghuz cultures .
