Towers of Silence
أفضل وقت للزيارة
It is worth arriving 1-2 hours before sunset, because the orange light falling on the desert and the towers creates an almost mystical atmosphere. The morning hours are also good, as there are fewer visitors and the temperature is still bearable.
نصائح للميزانية
The entrance fee is 200,000 Iranian rials (approx. 1-2 USD), which is a very small expense. There is no free day, but the ticket price includes a short briefing at the information center.

حول
حقائق سريعة: Según el ritual funerario zoroástrico, los cuerpos eran expuestos a los buitres en esta elevación. En las torres construidas en el siglo VI ya no se realizan ceremonias, pero el espíritu del lugar sigue siendo igual de fuerte.
النقاط البارزة: En el interior de las torres no hay nada aterrador ni ningún elemento arquitectónico llamativo. Lo que se puede sentir en la cima de la colina es el silencio absoluto y esa sabiduría de 2500 años de que la muerte no significa el fin de la vida, sino el regreso a la naturaleza.
نصائح من الداخل
- Bring water and a hat with you, because there is no shade on the hilltop and the desert sun can be relentless.
- Do not just look at the towers, but also walk around the hill, from where a stunning panorama opens up to the city and the desert.
- Local pilgrims often leave small offerings at the base of the towers. Do not take them or touch them.
- It is worth spending 10 minutes in the small museum at the entrance, because the exhibited objects help understand the ritual process.
