Cultural Landscape of Hawraman/Uramanat

The mountainous area contains traditional stone villages with terraced agricultural land spread across two valleys of Kermanshah and Kurdistan provinces.

Archaeological findings in the caves and settlements of Hawraman reveal continuous human presence dating back more than 40,000 years to the Middle Paleolithic period.

Local Hawrami people maintain their traditional agropastoral practices, using dry-stone terracing techniques and specific water management methods for mountain agriculture.

Visitors can explore the Palangan Rural Museum to learn about regional tools, medical plants, and traditional lifestyle of the mountain communities.

The stone houses rise in vertical steps along steep mountain slopes, creating a pattern where each building's roof serves as the courtyard for the house above.
