Seychelles architecture

The architecture of the Seychelles is simple and
environmentally friendly. It is forbidden to
build houses above the palm trees in the
Seychelles, so the cities more resemble large
villages. Today many houses are built of
concrete, but most of the buildings in the
Seychelles are made of wood and thatched.
