Wooden grain storehouses are often seen in Lycia in the area between Bezirgan and Elmali. They share many characteristics with Lycian rock-cut house-type tombs and may be a last vestige of Lycian house construction methods. Unfortunately, there are only a few masters alive who know how to construct these buildings using a technique of interlocking joints; it seems that the art will die with them.
