All over the region pigeonries have been carved into the rock surfaces of the slopes of most valleys, or were constructed used cut stone. Another type of pigeonry was made by closing entrances and windows of previously constructed monasteries and churches. The external surfaces of pigeonries were decorated by local artists of the 18th and 19th centuries and provide fine examples of Islamic painting. A government site places the pigeonries in the "third valley".
