Abyaneh Village

Abyaneh village

Abyaneh Village is one of the unique villages in Iran; the architecture of the village, the clothing and customs of the local people have made many tourists travel to this village.

Local people of Abyaneh village have preserved some of their traditional customs, language and dialect to some extent due to their geographical location as Abyaneh is a closed mountainous area away from the crowded centers and communication roads; as a result, a number of Middle Persian words and Pahlavi language can still be heard from the people living Abyaneh. However, this important local issue is gradually diminishing because of local people’s widespread contact with tourists. The local people still insist on using their traditional clothing; for example, men wear loose trousers made of black fabric and women wear long shirts made of colorful floral fabrics; in addition, women usually wear white floral scarves. The local food of Abyaneh village is almost similar to other central regions of Iran and their official food is a kind of qormeh cooked with mutton.

Geographical Location of Abyaneh Village

Abyaneh Village is a unique historical, natural and cultural village with a stepped architecture. The red soil that covers Abyaneh Village is located near Karkas mountain, about 40 km northwest of Natanz city in Isfahan province. Since this village is close to Kashan city, many tourists who travel to Kashan, mistakenly consider it a village in Kashan; however, this village is part of Nazanz city. This village has a very suitable geographical location, pristine nature and favorable climatic conditions, and all the houses in the village are located on a slope in north of the Borzroud River. One of the interesting and important points about the architecture of the region is its stepped architecture in a way that the roofs of the lower houses are the courtyards of the upper houses, with no dead-end street. Clay, brick, stone and walnut wood are the materials used in the construction of Abyaneh houses, and the façade of the houses is covered with red soil, which is supplied from a mine near the village, an interesting feature that has caused Abyaneh to be called the red ruby of the desert. In this village, there are works from Sassanid, Seljuk, Safavid and Qajar periods; for instance, the fire temple and mosques of Abyaneh village are among the important attractions of this village.
