Prayers for the departed form an important part of Zoroastrian ritual. Soon after the spirit has left, the body is regarded as impure, so it is bathed and dressed in white cotton garments. At the time appointed, the corpse has to be carried into the Tower. The Towers of Silence, being open at the top, give free access to birds of prey. Zoroastrianism regards the Soul as infinitely the more important.

Separation of the modern urban and traditional texture of Yazd city is the main distinctive feature of this city with other cities. Alley of calm and silent with kind people in the traditional texture of Yazd is one of the most prominent beauties of this city.

This castle is located in one of the villages of Yazd province called "Sar yazd" and I assure you that it is worth visiting once. This amazing castle belongs to the Sassanid era(3th-7th century AD ) and it is dubbed the oldest bank With its unique architecture.

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

Kharanaq is a minor tourist attraction in Yazd province. The whole village is made of mud and it’s now almost deserted and neglected after being inhabited for more than a 3,000 years!!! The abandoned village is a network of streets, tunnels, passageways, a mosque, a “shaking” minaret (to withstand earthquakes) and a caravanserai that housed merchants and pilgrims centuries ago. It is a unique and astonishing village crumbling after 3,000 years. Definitely a must visit before it disappears completely.

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.
