Towers of Silence
Najlepszy czas na wizytę
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.
Wskazówki budżetowe
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.

O atrakcjach
Szybkie fakty: A zoroasztriánus halotti szertartás szerint a testeket a keselyűknek tették ki ezen a magaslaton. A 6. században épült tornyoknál ma már nem zajlanak szertartások, de a hely szellemisége változatlanul erős.
Najważniejsze atrakcje: A tornyok belsejében nincs semmi ijesztő és nincs semmi látványos építészeti elem. Amit a dombtetőn érezni lehet, az a teljes csönd és az a 2500 éves bölcsesség, hogy a halál nem az élet végét jelenti, hanem a természetbe való visszatérést.
Wskazówki od insiderów
- 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.
