Chingizgala

Chingizgala or Jingozgala is a tower located in the Jar village of the Zagatala District of Azerbaijan. The towers, which gave the impression of strength and stability through their appearance, are the reflection of the harsh life of the society that created them. Chingizgala is located near the road. The adjacent area was surrounded by walls preserved only in a small part. The outline of the survived sections of the wall indicates that there was a small fortification here, and not a separate tower.

The tower is the best-preserved part of the fortification. Unfortunately, during the 20th century, the tower and the adjacent house were inhabited, which led to the distortion of the architectural features and the destruction of some parts.
