The most walls of this village are built with stones the lower parts of which were piled with rectangle-like big natural stones without using mud. On the wall of the natural stones small-sized stones (about 20 centimeters) mixed with mud were piled up on its inside and outside in the way of alternating form. The traditional walls curve like arrows and mix well with traditional houses nearby to produce a gentle and cozy atmosphere.
