Situated at an altitude of over 2,000 meters above sea level, this picturesque Iranian village is renowned for its distinctive stepped architecture, lush landscapes, and vibrant cultural traditions. Uraman Takht is characterized by its unique layout, with multi-story stone houses built into the mountainside in a terraced fashion, giving rise to the nickname “the hanging village.” These traditional dwellings, known as “kotchals,” feature flat roofs that serve as communal spaces for social gatherings, drying crops, and enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and peaks.
