Read moreThe central square of Yazd, which dates back to the th century. It is surrounded by a former mosque, by a tank surmounted by five towers of the octagonal wind (which now houses a house of the Force), and by the superb facade of the Amir Chaghmagh mosque, with its three rows of arcades and its two high minarets. Built in 1437 in the time of the Timourids, it still houses the tekieh used during the celebration of Hossein's martyrdom. At dusk, the illuminated Chaghmagh mosque takes the airs of the Thousand-and-One palaces under the starry desert vault.
