Historical cemetery in Yayci Village. It is spread over a wide area on the right side of the Kars - Igdir Highway. In this cemetery, which is the continuation of the tomb tradition with ram and sheep sculpture, the oldest witness stone is dated to Hijri 323 (Gregorian 1905) and the newest one is Hijri 1374 (Gregorian 1955). All the stones and statues of the witness are made of local tuff stone. The gravestones in this cemetery have similar characteristics with the tombstones in the form of ram - sheep in the historical cemetery in Karakoyunlu District of Iğdır. According to the Hijri dates read on the martyrs' stones, this cemetery was used in the beginning of 1900.
A cemetery that is said to be very old and protected. It's a place where indigenous people say about 700-year-old tombstones. There is information in the heads of the brave and courageous people placed in the graves of the coach. It is said that although most of the rams used to be coach, most of them were stolen. Good knowledge and restoration with more serious research is useful
If your path falls, it is a cemetery that was used from the late 19th century until the 1960s. Koçbaşlı gravestones are also found.
