I've seen many pigeon houses (and excavated one!), but none anywhere near as impressive as this. It was designed to house some 4000 pigeons for collecting both the eggs and the guano. The pigeon boxes are arranged on transverse vanes extending from the central space to an outer ring of pigeon boxes. The only entrance for the pigeons was through an opening in the top of the tower. For those charged with managing the collection of guano etc, thin discs of alabaster were let into the 1st storey floor to allow light to enter the ground floor. A brilliant and remarkable structure beautifully restored.

The Jame Mosque or the Congregational Mosque is one of the oldest monuments of the Islamic era in Yazd. An imposing entrance (the tallest of all mosques in Iran) topped by two minarets that dominate the old city. Much of the history of The Mosque dates back to Mongolian times in the 14th century. The monument has been restored several times. The last works were carried out between 1954 and 1986. The reputation of the mosque is due to its Persian blue tiles, its mosaics with various floral and geometric patterns, or its fine ornamentation in brick and terracotta. The water is channeled through a qanat, accessed by a staircase to perform ablution before prayer. jame-mosque-yazd

If you like to know more about Irainian ancient religion, this museum is a perfect case. Yazd, someday has been religious central city of Zoroastrianism and today many zoroastrians are living in Yazd. In this nice museum you can get to know various interesting ceremonies zoroastrians have and receive detailed accurate information about this traditional religion. Not bad to mention that the building basically was made by an Indian-Persian zoroastrian benefactor named Markar as an orphanage and today is used as zoroastrians museum and religious school.

This is the place to visit to have more insight into the Zoroastrian culture and religious practices. The fire in this place is kept burning all the time. In fact, if you stay long enough, you will be able to see how they keep the fire burning.

The museum, owned by the Regional Water Corporation is set in a buildings of the former Kolahdooz Mansion, built in 1888, and a truly beautiful building. There is everything here you need to know about the old water management system of Iran, which is still functioning today. The mansion itself is fed by the 75km long Zarch qanat which was first dug ca 2000 years ago.
