Гамсутль

In the past, the aul was quite populated and had a very developed infrastructure: in the last century there were shops, a small hospital and a maternity ward in the village. It was not difficult to get to the village - a road quite suitable for the movement of cars and other transport led to the mountain village.

 

About four decades ago, the inhabitants of the village of Gamsutl began to gradually leave the village, going to larger and less inaccessible settlements. Subsequently, the village was deserted; in 2015, its last inhabitant died

According to scientists, the approximate age of the village is 2 thousand years.

 

Artifacts of various eras and religions were found on the territory of the village: Christian crosses, tombstones with inscriptions in Persian, on the facades of houses one can still distinguish Arabic script, and the door of one of them was decorated with the Star of David
