Each district of the city is built on a qanat and has a communal center.
The use of earth in structures includes walls and roofing systems through the building and construction of vaults and domes.
Homes are constructed with yards listed below ground level, serving underground areas.
Wind-catchers, yards, and thick earthen walls develop an enjoyable microclimate.The historical core of Yazd is chockfull of mudbrick houses, fetes, public bathhouses, water tanks, mosques, synagogues, Zoroastrian temples, and centuries-old gardens.
From the divine perspective, the city takes pleasure in the peaceful coexistence of 3 religions: Islam, Judaism, and Zoroastrianism.Yazd is home to numerous qanats which have supplied water to agricultural and permanent settlements for thousands of years.
The man-carved underground qanat system relies on snow-fed streams flowing down the foothills of surrounding mountains.
The earliest water supply to Yazd is approximated to date from the Sassanid era (224 to 651 CE).
However, numerous others have actually been constantly fixed and used gradually, and most surviving Ab-Anbars (standard mudbrick tanks) can today be traced to the late Safavid and Qajar periods.AM
