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

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.

Chak chak Even the name is interesting; Chak chak (drip drip) in the middle of nowhere (in the middle of desert) looking around, there's nothing but, desert. A good road ends to that pilgrimage site, you might feel it's the end of the world. A lot of steep stairs to climb, finally, you are there and you can see drip drip in the end of the world. If it is tears of the mountain for the daughter of the king (Nikbanoo; daughter of the last king of Iran before arriving Islam) or water for quenching her thirst (maybe neither of them) If it is legend or not, all the same, it has something to tell you; a remembrance of Arab's invasion and hope for miracles in a deserted desert. Most important Zoroastrian pilgrimage site is worth climbing more stairs, because you can see the last miracle of ancient Iran by your own eyes.

Amir Chakhmaq, this is how the main square of the city of Yazd is called. It bears the name of its builder, the governor of Yazd in the 15th century, under the rein Timurid. Built as a complex, including among others a bazaar, a mosque and a cistern. Its arcaded facade with its minarets were added in the 19th century. The changes made have given the place the appearance of Hosseinieh( place of commemoration of the martyrdom of Imam Hossein, a high religious figure of Shiite Islam) normally constructed in Yazd. On the square, in front of the facade with multiple arches, sits a sort of ceremonial wooden structure, this object named Nakhl (palm tree), is decorated in black during the Moharam ceremonies, and is carried on the shoulder by the men themselves dressed in black. This procession marks the culmination of the commemoration ceremonies.
