Amir Chakhmaq Square and Mosque
Known as the symbol of Yazd, Amir Chakhmaq Complex is at the centre of the historic city and is surrounded by popular attractions, including mosques and bath houses.
Dating back to the 15th century, the Amir Chakhmaq Complex is the centre of Yazd's historic old town. Sitting at the crossroads of major streets, the complex is always bustling with modern life, but it's also home to some of the city's most significant historic features.
When you visit, the best way to explore is on foot, because there are lots of sights to see in a relatively small area. The main attractions include Amir Chakhmaq Mosque, Haji Ghanbar Bazaar, Amir Chakhmaq Historical Nakhl, and Amir Chakhmaq Water Storage. As well as these obvious landmarks, you'll also be able to find public baths, copper statues, fountains, traditional handicrafts, and lots of hidden gems.
While the complex is busiest during the day, the square faces west so it's also a great location for sunset. At night, some of the buildings are illuminated with coloured lights that bring the square to life.
