Alexander's Prison
Najbolje vrijeme za posjet
Early morning or late afternoon, when the mystical silence of the place can be fully experienced due to fewer visitors. In summer, it is also great during the midday heat, as the indoor temperature is much lower.
Savjeti za budžet
The entrance fee is cheap, roughly 1-2 euros worth of rial. If you plan to visit multiple attractions in Yazd, it is worth buying a combined ticket, which can save you up to 30%.

O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Ova građevina iz 9. stoljeća zapravo nikada nije bila zatvor, već golema cisterna i mjesto za odmor u drevnoj Perziji. Ime potječe od lokalnih legendi prema kojima je Aleksandar Veliki ovdje držao zatočene pobunjene plemiće.
Istaknuto: Iznutra se pred tobom otvara golema, mračna kupolasta dvorana, gdje svjetlost koja dopire odozgo ocrtava zidove cisterne duboke 8 metara. Potpuna tišina i 12 stupnjeva hladniji zrak stvaraju osjećaj kao da si zakoračio u neko drugo stoljeće.
Insajderski savjeti
- 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.
