Place: Tabriz, Iran

Kandovan, a village 30km far from Tabriz Iran, was made by Mongolians when they dominate Iran. Its natural stony architecture is one of the most amazing things in the world. There, people¡¯s life is still primitive and they don¡¯t like to meet people other than themselves - especially those with photo cameras. They make their houses by inscribing and digging hard stones, but some parts are natural and some are made by hands.
