Alexander's Prison
Waktu terbaik untuk berkunjung
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.
Tips anggaran
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%.

Tentang
Fakta cepat: La estructura del siglo IX nunca fue realmente una prisión, sino una enorme cisterna y lugar de descanso en la antigua Persia. El nombre proviene de que, según las leyendas locales, Alejandro Magno mantenía aquí cautivos a los nobles rebeldes.
Sorotan: En el interior se abre ante ti una enorme sala oscura con cúpula, donde la luz que llega desde arriba dibuja las paredes de la cisterna de 8 metros de profundidad. El silencio perfecto y el aire 12 grados más fresco crean la sensación de haber retrocedido a otro siglo.
Tips orang dalam
- 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.
