The paper is devoted to the appearance and progress of monumental sculpture in Caucasian Albania. The emergence of monumental sculptures of Albania happens on the period of the early Middle Ages (IV-VIII centuries).Memorial monuments of sculpture were mainly set up over the graves. There are sculptural monuments that played the role of religious idols. The monumental memorials of Caucasian Albania are mostly made of stone. The memorials are made in a conventionally stylistic manner and do not have certain portrait features. There is a certain canonization of these monuments. Distribution of monumental sculptural memorials of Caucasian Albania is connected with the “worshiping fathers” and the “worshiping ancestors” among the Turkic tribes inhabiting the territory of Caucasian Albania.
