Kandovan Village: One of the most unique villages in the world, located in Iran in the Middle East. The entire village is made of stone, making it a true "stone village". Even when developing tourism, staying in a hotel means staying in a stone house just like the local residents.
These stone houses have a history of over 700 years. According to legend, the earliest ancestors of Kandovan village fled here to escape the invasion of the Mongols. They dug into the stones and hid until the crisis passed, and then decided to settle here.
