Alexander's Prison
Najbolje vreme za posetu
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.
Saveti 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: Građevina iz 9. veka zapravo nikada nije bila zatvor, već ogromna cisterna i odmorište u drevnoj Persiji. Ime potiče odatle što je, prema lokalnim predanjima, Aleksandar Veliki ovde držao zatočene pobunjeničke plemiće.
Istaknuto: Iznutra se pred tobom otvara ogromna, mračna dvorana s kupolom, u kojoj svetlost koja dopire odozgo iscrtava zidove cisterne duboke 8 metara. Savršena tišina i vazduh hladniji za 12 stepeni stvaraju osećaj kao da si zakoračio u neki drugi vek.
Insajderski saveti
- 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.
