Cavavnşir qalasının həyətində heç bir yerdə tapılmayan nadir ağac və güllər bitir.
 Rəvayətə görə, Cavanşirin qızları ağac, gül və çiçək dibçəklərini  həyətə – açıq havaya çıxarıblarmış.Onlar gülləri götürüb evə gətirmək istəyəndə birdən atalarının ölüm xəbərini eşidirlər. Dibçəklər əllərindən düşüb sınır, güllər, çiçəklər, bəzək ağacları yerə dağılır. Deyirlər, Cavanşir qalasının həyətində bitən nadir bəzək ağacları və gül-çiçəklər qəhrəmanın qızlarından qalmış yadigarlardır.

                             Legend Pariqala

Parigala, also known as the Fairy Castle, is considered one of Azerbaijan’s lesser-known archeological treasures and historical mysteries. The site consists of a limestone brick structure of three rooms with a window, built 300 metres up the side of a cliff in the foothills of the Caucasus Mountains near the village of Chardaghlar in northwest Azerbaijan.

The structure is believed to have been built during the Caucasian    Albanian period sometime between the fourth and eighth centuries. Few visit, as it sits in a remote part of Azerbaijan and requires much effort to access. The site includes a forty-metre stairway reinforced with oak beams and also a covered walkway. Local guides have erected a ladder to access the site, which requires considerable strength and mountaineering skill to access. The site is in a state of good repair, although the top of the stairway has been separated from the rock, perhaps by an earthquake. Wear on the limestone suggests that the structure was long inhabited.

Copper work is the most important of the skills developed by Lahij craftsmen. Lahij is renowned for its production of arms and copper items, decorated with carved ornaments. The development of copper production triggered the formation of such professions in Lahij as tinsmith, blacksmith and others, together with the creation of bituminous coal. The structure and supplies of copper workshops, as well as its traditional external look and its production processes remain preserved today, as they were in previous centuries. Written sources, as well as, the rich copperware collections that may be seen in the museums of Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russian and Europe, prove the existence of over 80 types of copperware equipment used in copperware manufacturing in Lahij.
Leather goods’ manufacture was the second biggest craft skill in Lahij, after that of coppersmith. The local leather goods’ master craftsmen were expert in using shagren, tumaj and yuft as raw materials for various products such as shoes, belts, leather quilted jackets, book covers and bridles. Leather production in Lahij created suitable conditions for the development of other craftsmen, with associated skills – such as saddle makers, bridle makers, cobblers, hat makers and sheepskin makers.
