Then visit the Friday Mosque, built in 1324, where you can gaze upon the tallest minarets in the country. Among the many other historic sites to be seen in Yazd are beautiful old homes and the 15-Dowlat Abad Garden. Standing by the garden’s long reflecting pool, you’ll be shaded by ancient cypress trees. Ahead of you is an 18th-century hexagonal pavilion with a beautiful stained glass window and a graceful wind tower – the tallest in Iran. All around are flowering fruit trees and other ornamental plants and trees.
