The village is named after Aqa Seyyed shrine. It is known for its unusual architecture. Its interconnected buildings are built into the surrounding mountain. The roofs of the buildings serve as courtyards and streets of the buildings above. Most of the homes have no windows and only one door.[4][5]
Because of the similarity of architecture, Sar Aqa Seyyed village is called[citation needed] The Masuleh of Zagros. Also, tourists explore this village for its nomads too.[6]
