Masouleh is the most famous historical and tourist city of Gilan in Iran which in 1354 became the first living historical city of the country. Masouleh Peklani Township has 350 historic homes dating from 800 to 1000 years old, which is beautiful all year round, but tourists prefer summer and spring to travel to this historic city. The high mountainous Masoule weather, with cool summers and cold winters is surrounded by forest and mountains.

 

Where is the historic city of Masouleh?

Masouleh is located in the southwest of Gilan province, which is bounded on the north by Masal city, on the south by Tarom (Zanjan province), on the east by Fouman and on the west by Khalkhal (Ardabil province). Masouleh is also 60 kilometers from Rasht, 36 kilometers from Fouman and 20 kilometers from Makwan.

 

Masuleh architecture

Most of the buildings in Masule are yellow or clay, which is why the houses look better in the fog, as Masuleh falls in the fog for almost half a year. The Masuleh houses have a unique architecture so that the roofs and front of each house are used as sidewalks.

That is, the roof of every courtyard and walkway is another, giving a beautiful, staircase perspective. It is noteworthy that these types of houses were formed during the era of Zandiyeh and the number of floors usually reaches two floors.

 

But, unfortunately, old houses made of stone and wood are being demolished, replacing concrete buildings with metal roofs that try to preserve the exterior appearance of the old pattern.

Although snow and rain rarely make the houses with sloping roofs, roofs today use isogam and asphalt, but traditional straw mud coverings can still be found.

 

Also the wooden windows and windows of the houses decorated by the tasteful and masculine tastefully decorated with geranium pots give Masuleh a special beauty.

In the past, the Masuleh home heating system used wood and seat heaters, which today have replaced oil, electric and gas-fired heaters.
