Abyaneh It is located 330 km far from Tehran to South. This beautiful small village is surrounded with hills and mountains and is likes in the hidden place Abyaneh is a beautiful historic village at the foot of Karkass mountain 70 km to the southeast of Kashan and 40 km to Natanz. This is a village of living traditions, architectural styles (all in red clay mixed with barley straw), and probably the most interesting example of human adaptation to nature, wherein one can transcend the boundaries of time and space and experience the ancient civilization and culture of Iran. The village is compact, with narrow and sloped lanes, and houses located on the slope as if placed on a stairway. Here, the roofs of some houses are used to serve as the courtyard for other houses higher up on the slope. The language spoken by the literate people of Abyaneh is Parthian Pahlavi. They are deeply committed to honoring their traditions. No matter how well-educated a person from Abyaneh might be, he or she puts on the traditional Abyaneh costume on coming back to the village from anywhere in Iran. The women's traditional costume consisting of a Hi-Jab with floral motifs and pleated pants, is particularly attractive. The Abyaneh woman is un-separable attached to her wedding gown inherited from her mother, and is expected to pass it on to her daughter. It bears Such an intrinsic value for her that she wouldn't sell it at any price. According to the report released following the visit of UNESCO representatives and experts of world heritage from Abyaneh village, this historical village has been recognized appropriate for being registered in list of UNESCO's World Heritage sites. Enjoying more than 4 conditions for being registered, Abyaneh historical village has the potential for being inscribed as world heritage site. I was headed for Abyaneh on 22nd of April 2008, with Iranian friends Ramina and Arash, started driving at hotel in Tehran 06:30 and reached Abyaneh around 11:10. The people I met are not only old and dressed in a colorful muffler (called Hi-Jab) but also looks very shy and kind. Here you will find some photos of amazing village Abyaneh. |
