Architec­ture

The caravan­se­rai near Jil villa­ge was used as a warehouse for a while during the Soviet era. The caravanserai, which was not repaired by the Armenians, blew up and col­lapsed, leaving ruins in the area where it was lo­cated.

As noted by foreign travelers, "Cara­vanserais of a slightly different shape, located at a certain distance from each other, were found along the road. The­se buildings were built of big and lar­ge hewn stones. Their roofs are flat and their rooms are vaulted. Cara­van­serais have towers on four sides, which make them not only a shelter for caravans, but also a means of de­fense against robbers.'' The caravan­sa­ry around the village of Jil was also a one-story caravansary built in this man­ner.

The caravan­se­rai is located on the side of a bu­sy road. The settle­ment of merc­hants, tra­ve­lers, resear­chers and peop­le of many cate­gories from dif­ferent regions and their socio-economic rela­tionship with the population had a great im­pact on the so­cio-economic de­velopment of the village and its surrounding areas.
