  1. Yazd A view from above

  2. Yazd was visited by Marco Polo in 1272, who described it as a good and noble city and remarked its silk production. Isolated from any approach by a huge tract of monotonous desert, the vibrancy of Yard is invariably a surprise. După ce a vizitat oraşul în 1272 Marco Polo l-a descris ca „bun şi nobil”, remarcând în special producţia sa de mătase. Strălucirea oraşului nu poate să nu te surprindă pentru că drumul monoton prin deşert până aici este dezolant Recognized by UNESCO as holding one of the oldest architecture all over the world

  9. The geographical features of this region have made people developed special architectural styles.
