Amir Chaghmagh Square, Ancient square in Yazd, Iran.
The symmetrical facade of Amir Chaghmagh Square spans three stories with multiple sunken alcoves and two tall minarets extending toward the sky.
Built during the Timurid dynasty in 1438, the square was commissioned by Amir Jalaleddin Chakhmaq, who served as the governor of Yazd.
The square includes a mosque, bathhouse, caravanserai, and tekyeh, where religious ceremonies commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Hussein.
The square remains open daily from 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 4:00 PM to 7:30 PM, with orange lighting illuminating the structures after sunset.
An ancient cistern within the complex hosts Zurkanieh performances, combining traditional Iranian gymnastics with strength training exercises.
