Teave
Kiired faktid: 9. sajandi ehitis ei olnud tegelikult kunagi vangla, vaid hiiglaslik tsistern ja puhkepaik Vana-Pärsias. Nimi tuleneb sellest, et kohalike legendide järgi pidas Aleksander Suur siin kinni mässulisi aadlikke.
Esiletõstmised: Seestpoolt avaneb sinu ees hiiglaslik, tume kuplisaal, kus 8 meetri sügavuse tsisterni seinu joonistab ülalt langev valgus. Täiuslik vaikus ja 12 kraadi võrra jahedam õhk tekitavad tunde, nagu oleksid astunud tagasi mõnda teise sajandisse.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Bring a small flashlight with you so you can better examine the carved stones in the dark corners under the dome.
- At the entrance, look up at the ceiling: the brick pattern is like a huge geometric carpet.
- The best photo can be taken from the center point under the dome, where the light shines into the depths of the water reservoir.
- Avoid the period around noon, when organized groups arrive and break the silence of the place.
