Lahich

About

Lahich is one of the most ancient human settlements in Azerbaijan, located within the Ismayilli District. The small local population primarily speak the Tat language, also known as Tati Persian, and are skilled storytellers who will be eager to share tales of their families and ancestral traditions to you as you wander through the markets. Stepping into Ismayilli Rayon, the rhythmic sounds of metal being hammered and clanging together fill the air as shop owners arrange their merchandise. The village’s cobblestone alleys lead to an array of shops offering exquisitely crafted copperware that has gained recognition not only in Azerbaijan but also in the South Caucasus region. Delve deeper into the village’s history at the Lahich History Museum, housed in a former mosque next to the tourist office, and be treated to breathtaking landscapes adorned with lush forests and picturesque rivers at an altitude of 1505 meters above sea level.
