Abstract

The department of “Art and Architecture of Caucasian Albania”, which is of strategic importance, was established in the Institute of Architecture and Art by the decision of ANAS President. There is a lot of information on Caucasian Albania, but unfortunately, it is not always correct. As we know, the world community often hides the truth, and the only way out for us is to build on our ability try to convey the truth to the whole world. It is known that Caucasian Albania was formed in the IV century BC. Numerous monuments and historical chronicles, proving the antiquity of Albanian culture have been preserved. The Albanian Church is one of the most ancient Churches of the Caucasus. Christianity in Caucasian Albania was already widespread in the 1st century. It is known that in Albania, as far back as the adoption of Christianity in Albania there was writing. It is known that church writings and other literature existed in the Albanian language, including translation. The 5th-7th centuries were considered the period of sunrise of the Albanian culture. The Georgian historian Shvanidze writes about this: “Albanians are equally active in all spheres of political and cultural life of the Caucasus with Georgians and Armenians.”
