A masterpiece of rural architecture

 

a beautiful historic village in a valley of Zagreus mountain range, where its mountain-hemmed position kept it unknown for many years. The architectural style of the village is similar to that of Masouleh and Hajij, where the roof of a house is the yard of another house, that is made of stone using the method of dry-stack. An inscription from Iron age was found here that belongs to Sargon, the Assyrian king, about his wars with different nations. Another important finding of this area is a parchment from the Parthian era, which is the deed of land. What is significant about the deed is that it shows that people were known base on their father’s and grandfather’s name. A very interesting event is celebrated here that is known as “Pir-e Shaliar”, who was a Theurgist and healed the daughter of the king and by king’s order married her. Their wedding day is when the celebration is held.
