There are many rock dwellings in the valley. Some of the rock houses were built higher than the ground and some were built as two floors. The two-storey rock houses are connected to each other by a step system. The rock houses are divided into single space rock houses, complex rock houses and multi-storey rock houses. Almost all of the rock dwellings were used as animal shelters and warehouses in the later periods.
