Kandovan Village














Kandovan village is well known for its exquisite rocky architecture.
About 200 families residing in this village have built their homes in the depth of the conical and pyramid - like rock masses. The houses in this village enjoy a rock style of architecture which is attributed to the 13th century AD or even to the pre - Islamic era. The thickness, quality and layers of hills and conical masses is a consequence of the mixture of volcanic substances of Sahand with the mud produced as a result of heavy downpours. The height of these conical and pyramid - like hills exceeds 60 meters.
