Abyaneh Historical Village has long been a study site for anthropologists. Because of its remoteness and isolation from the main roads, this village has still kept its old architecture, and culture including language, customs, and clothes.

The architecture of the houses in the village is fascinating, they are terraced and all covered with a lump of red clay from the region which has given the whole village a uniform look. You can see caves near and inside the village which were used as places to keep the sheep and winter supply and almost all families own one.  

The men living in Abyaneh wear a shirt and pants. Their pants look like those of Bakhtiari ethnic groups. The women wear floral dresses and a white scarf to cover their hair. Their language is a remnant of the Pahlavi language which has been preserved.
