Yazd

Yazd is located in the heart of Iran. The first mention of the city dates back to 339-420. AD The emergence of Yazd is attributed to the era of the conquests of Alexander the Great. This city has always been the center of the ancient religion of Zoroastrianism. At one time, Yazd visited Marco Polo. Yazd is a city that has been preserved in the same form as many centuries ago.
A well-known landmark of the city is the Jame Mosque of the 14th century, which has two high minarets. These minarets are the highest in Iran. Yazd is known for the fact that it was here that the system of delivery, storage and distribution of cool drinking water, characteristic of ancient Western Asia, was once brought to perfection. A huge number of kariz (ganats) were built in the city – underground channels for water. Even under the Achaemenids (VI-IV centuries BC), Iran was cut by a system of these most complex communications. Yazd is called the city of badgirs (windcatchers) – ventilation pipes used to cool the air in houses. The highest badgir is located in the Doulat-abad garden.
The “sacred fire” of the Zoroastrians, which has not been extinguished for 1500 years, is located in this city, which is often called the birthplace of Zoroastrianism. The fire of Shah-Varahram is maintained in a special room (atashkad), it is fenced off with glass, behind which worshipers can contemplate it. The Zoroastrians also had their own style of burial – the burial of the dead in the so-called “towers of silence”.

In Yazd there is a historical complex Amir Chah-mak, consisting of a mosque, public baths, a mausoleum, three reservoirs and a portal of one of the bazaars of Yazd. It was built during the reign of the Timurid dynasty in the 15th-16th centuries.
