Yazd is one of the oldest cities in the world. It is known for the wind towers, or badgirs, built on its houses and for the beautiful weavings created by its craftspeople. Yazd is also the original home of the Zoroastrian religion. You might ask what does this city under the perpetual glow of harsh desert sun has to deserve such a huge honor. Well, conventional wisdom has it that creativity blossoms under severe circumstances and that is especially true of Yazd’s unique architecture. Aside from that, scarcity of water resources led the Persians to the design and construction of intricate subterranean channels for drawing water called “Qanat” around the first millennium BC.
