Sayyid Rukn ad-Din ,
This building is in fact the tomb of Sayyid Rukn ad-Din , and is all that remains of a complex erected to his orders known as the Institute of Time and the Hour whose mechanical devices made it one of the wonders of the age

Friday Mosque
The crowned by a pair of minarets , the highest in Persia , the portal’s facade is decorated from top to bottom in dazzling tile work , predominantly blue in color. Within there is a long arcaded court where , behind a deep-set southeast Ivan , is a sanctuary chamber. This chamber , under a squat tiled dome , is exquisite decorated with faience mosaic: its tall faience Mihrab , dated 1365 , is one of the finest of its kind in existence. The Mosque was largely rebuilt between 1324 and 1365 , and is one of the outstanding 14th century buildings in Persia. The timework has recently been skillfully restored and a modern library built to house the mosque's valuable collection of books and manuscripts

Bazaar Entrance ,

This incredibly imposing bazaar entrance was an excuse for a magnificent display of ostentation. The bazaar itself is comparatively small , but the entrance is undoubtedly the grandest in Iran.

The twin minarets rival those of the Jami' Mosque , while the entire facade is decorated with glazed titles and plaster stalactite vaulting. The wooden framework is decorated and carried during the procession for the mourning for Imam Husayn.

Fire Temple


This is Yazd's "Fire Temple". The intimates meet there , but nobody apart form the Grand Priest , a descendant of the Magi , reciting the Avesta , has

access to the Saint of Saints where for the past 3000 years a fire burns in a brazen vessel. The fire itself is a representation of what is good

Towers of Silence


These "Towers of Silence" overlook an impressive desert and mountain landscape where the last worshippers of the Ahura Mazda faith dwell.

wind towers

The heat is blistering in the south , on the edge of the Great Desert. High chimneys acting as air-vents bring some comfort to these dwellings.

House of water

Enormous domes starting at ground level and also surmounted act as protective roofs for deep water-tanks six , eight or ten meters below the street level , which are reached by staircases. These buildings are so clean and well cared for that they look as if they were build yesterday.
