Iran in Photos: Stepped Village of Sar-e Aqa Seyyed

Sar-e Aqa Seyyed is a stepped village in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, south-western Iran.

Sar-e Aqa Seyyed is located in Mouguyi county, 45 km from Chelgard, the centre of Koohrang city.

There is only one path to access this village: a dirt road which is blocked after the first snowfall until next spring.

Its structure is stepped and “Bar-aftow”, that means “facing the sun” in the local language: the houses are built in a way that allows making the most of the sun’s heat during the winter.

The stairs of Sar-e Aqa Seyyed have stories to tell about the residents of each house! The stepped structure gives a special beauty to the village: the yard of an upper house is the roof of the house below. This space is used by people for drying fodder and vegetables, baking bread and making handicrafts.

What follows are IRNA’s photos of Sar-e Aqa Seyyed village:
