Architecture of Timor-Leste
Despite its small size, there is a fair amount of architectural variety in Timor-Leste (East Timor), since each group of people have their own traditions and customs. However, nearly all architecture has been constructed of wood as well so few buildings have lasted to the present and much of what stands today is from the past century other than a few structures.
Early, and still the most traditional, architecture in Timor-Leste is the totem house, which is most commonly found in the east. These wooden houses are called both uma lulik and lee teinu depending on the people building them.
