AZERBAIJAN - Lahic

Lahıc is a village in the slopes of the Greater Caucasus and is a world in itself – mainly because of its architecture and its still active copper smiths whose hammering in the main street.

The main street has most of the stores and workshops and displays the typical architecture. The cobble street is built with rather large stones from the nearby river. The river provides also the stones for the buildings. The layers of stones are intersected with thin layers of wood that serve as buffers in case of an earthquake, a threat people live with since long times.
