Jinli Castle or Jinli-Gala (Azerbaijani: Cinli qala) is a fortress located near the village of İlisu in the Gakh region of Azerbaijan.

[5] On the plan, the fortress is a highly elongated irregular rectangle along the long east–west axis and measures 12 by 60 meters, which is due to the relief of the territory.

[5] The volumetric-spatial composition of the fortress, based on the alternation of towers and scaffolds along its entire perimeter, is due to the natural topographic conditions and defense requirements.

The thickness along the entire perimeter ranges between 60 and 120 centimeters, which is due to the strategic capabilities of the area: the higher the site, the thinner the walls were built.

[5] On the highest point of the fortress’ territory, on the top of the cliff, there is located the main quadrangular tower about 10 meters high, on the northern and southern walls of which there are secret openings for observation.

These are deepened into the ground and at one time served as a pool for drinking water, a cellar for storing grain and other products.
