The "architecture" is really extraordinary, interesting and certainly rare to see. Above all, I find it amazing that these caves are still inhabited and even normal windows and doors are installed. A fascinating picture.

Hi Diana,

When I first saw this I did wonder if this is an old historic settlement, or simply the way people live in Iran today.

Nice picture either way!!

But reading your information, I know now!!

Best Wishes, and a good Easter weekend

In our Peninsula we also have inhabited caves, in Northern Africa too. I am always intrigued to feel they are dry inside!
