| Yazd is the capital of Yazd Province, Iran, and a centre of Zoroastrian culture. To deal with the extremely hot summers, many old buildings in Yazd have magnificent windcatchers, and large underground areas. Windcatchers are devices to ventilate and cool houses. They are also known as badgir. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
