Travel to a secret village: Sar Agha Seyed
Villages are among the beautiful sights of each region and at every opportunity many enthusiasts travel to visit and use their nature. Some villages are considered because of their climate and lush nature, and some because of their special texture and architecture.
Sar-Agha-Seyed is a village in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province that has attracted a lot of tourists due to its beautiful nature, special architecture and its unique culture. This village is located in the middle of a wide valley with high walls. For this reason, the houses are facing a huge mountain and a beautiful view can be seen from the window of these houses. Sar Agha Seyed village is located on a steep slope and for this reason it has benefited from the special architecture of these areas, namely stepped architecture. The yard of each house is actually the roof of a neighbor’s house, and for this reason the houses are practically interconnected. Houses are often made of stone and wood, which are available materials in the area, and this factor has made it attractive.

The village is inhabited by Bakhtiarian nomads who speak Luri. They began to build these spectacular architecture around a holy shrine (Seyed Eisa) about 600 years ago.
