Information:

In the northwest of the village of Sofulu, 4 km from the village, there was a magnificent Stone Castle - a famous defensive fortress. The age of Sofulu village dates back to VII-VIII centuries. The castle was built to protect against foreign invasions. The village was bur­ned by Armenian Dashnaks in 1918. In the south of the village, on the south side of the north, there is a famous place cal­led Dashgala. This place is more connec­ted with the name of Gachaq Nabi. Pro­tecting himself in this fortress, he destro­yed the group of Gorus bailiff Salim Bey.

The historical Sto­ne Castle and other mate­rial and cultural monuments lo­cated in the vil­lage are ancient examples of the history of Azer­baijan here.
