in #travel7 years ago

Hi my steemians friends! I want to share with you one of my best journey that I have!
this weekend my husband and I went to one of the amazing places that I ever been! a historical village named Abyaneh, it is one of oldest village (about 1500 years old) and Characterized by a peculiar reddish hue, The impressive architecture of its buildings and mosques, fire temples and historic castles, Abyaneh, which is called Viona in the local dialect, is in the Central District of Natanz County, Isfahan Province, Iran.

The buildings have been built into the mountain, and the red colour of the walls of this village is due to the iron in the soil, and the combination of this red colour with the greenery of the area looks good.

I love the architecture of these houses, there are so many details in their houses that you can watch them for hours.
For example, look at the balcony of this house

and this door, Maybe it's interesting to you that these doors have two pieces of iron on them. we call them "Kloon", these are used for knocking, the one that is heavier is used when a man is back at the door because it has bass sound and the other one was used when a lady is back because it has treble sound , you can see ts old doors everywhere in Iran
