Yazd, Provincial capital in central Iran
The city stretches across a desert plain at 1216 meters elevation, featuring clay buildings connected by underground water tunnels called qanats.
Marco Polo documented Yazd in 1272, noting its position as a key trading center between Central Asia and India with thriving silk production.
The presence of fire temples and traditional Zoroastrian structures marks Yazd as the primary center of Zoroastrian religion in Iran.
The transportation network includes Iranian Railways connections and Shahid Sadooghi Airport, providing direct access to major Iranian cities.
The buildings incorporate wind towers that channel air currents to create natural cooling systems in the desert environment.
