When in Shamakhi tourists always visit it in the vicinities of historical -architectural resort Lagich built in the 5th century AD in Girdimanchaj river canyon (The Major Caucasus). This village is named after Iranian tribe lagich which came there in the 4 th – 5th centuries. There ancient mosques and baths, medieval water pipe and sewer system have survived.
In spite of the fact that the village is declared the historical and cultural reserve, the local residents live there engaged, basically, in agriculture and workmanship: they produce graceful household objects from copper ( cauldrons , trays, jugs etc.), leather and weave carpets. From time immemorial lagich people have traded their goods known all over the Near East . Even you can get various hand-made items today in special workshops and souvenir shops : carpets, utensils, daggers etc.
