Yazd

Zoroastrianism was the main religion across the Iranian plateau until the Arabs brought Islam to the people in the 7th century AD. Places to see include a Zoroastrian fire temple or Ateshkadeh, where a sacred flame has burned non stop since around 470 AD; The Towers of Silence where the dead were left to be picked off by vultures and the old city made of sun-dried bricks with labyrinthine alleyways.
