There is amazing! The construction of the Alexander Prison in Yazd began in the 7th century AH by a man named Zia-ud-Din Hassi Razi, and it took about 74 years to build. This building is located in one of the oldest areas of Yazd city, namely Fahadan area, and in Imam Square, the laundry alley of the house. Since Iskandar Yazd Prison is in an old neighborhood of the city, it is close to other tourist attractions such as the Twelfth Tomb, but it is also very close, and in fact it is only a few steps away, so it can be easily reached at one time. He visited 2 masterpieces of Yazd history.

According to what is left, after Alexander invaded Iran, he imprisoned a prisoner on the way to the city of Rey, which is now Yazd, and named it dirty, and the existence of this prison can be explained by the fact that he, his opponents in This prison has kept. But the renaming of Kateh to Alexander Prison could be due to the fear that people had of Alexander at the time. It seems that this prison was the first building built in Yazd by...

beautiful place Alexander’s Prison (locally called “Zendaan-e Eskandar”), is a legendary place named after Alexander the Great, also known as Alexander of Macedonia, who overthrew the Persian Empire in about 330 BC.

The mysterious place is located in one of the old neighborhoods of Yazd, in central Iran. However, as a modern visitor, what you see is like a centuries-old domed building made of bricks, clay, and mortar; it does not match a prison or so at all.

The complex, however, contains a deep, circular, brick-lined pit almost 10 meters in diameter resembling an ancient dungeon found at the heart of the old. There is also a well and some nooks in the courtyard.

The most vigorous account arises from a reference to a poem of Hafez, the industrious 14th-century Persian poet Khwaja Shams al-Din Muḥammad Ḥafeẓ-e Shirazi, known by his pen name Hafez.

According to the legend, a deep well in the middle of the courtyard of the structure was in fact built by Alexander the Great and used...

Alexander's Prison is an ancient domed structure, apparently known by this name as a result of a reference in a Hafez poem. This complex contains a deep, circular, brick-lined pit almost 10 meters in diameter, resembling an ancient dungeon. There is also a well and some nooks in the courtyard. It is alleged by some to have been built by Alexander to hold his captives during his conquest of Persia and alleged by others to have been built by the Persians to hold Alexander himself. Whatever the true story, the complete complex itself is almost certainly a later construction.

Based on what is mentioned on the wall: Molana Zia Al-Din Hossein-e Razi, the son of Sharif Al-Din Ali Yazdi, commenced building the Ziai-ye school know as the Alexander's prison in 631 A.H, and his sons ended it in 705 A.H (1306 ac). The dome chamber in the school boasts aprayer niche surrounded by impressive porticos, the adobe dome with its elegant plaster work and gorgeous water color commands a spectacular view, being a photographed example of the architectural style of mongolian era.
