Qarlooja Tower - Kalibar
The Qarluja Stone Tower, also known as the Qeshlaq Qarluja Tower, is located in the village of Qarluja (also spelled Qarluje) in Kalibar County. It is situated next to the Aras River, along the Khamarlou-Aslan road. The origins of this structure date back to the 13th and 14th centuries AD. During the Safavid period, certain sections of this tower were reconstructed.

This short tower (with 5 meters of its height remaining) is octagonal and constructed using ordinary cut stones. It likely contains a crypt underneath, possibly the burial site of one of the notable Ilkhanid Mongol leaders.
