Dowlat Abad Garden, Yazd

Comprising a large garden and some buildings, it is a famous complex built in the original Iranian style which was watered by a qanat of this same name. In the past, it was the residence of the governor. The most impressive part of the complex is a building with a ventilation structure (Badgir) on the roof and a brook in the interior. The air, passing through the Badgir is subjected to the flowing water to cool the interior. Being 33 meters high, this badgir is an architectural triumph. Lattice doors and windows covered with colored glass afford a pleasing sight to the building.
