Approach, forecourt, trees and wind catcher of Dolat-Abad garden in YAZD Iran
The approach to Dolat-Abad, with trees, water fountains and tallest wind catcher in Iran, in the background. Once a residence of Persian regent Karim Khan Zand, Bagh-e Dolat Abad was built in about 1750 and consists of a small pavilion set amid quiet gardens. The interior of the pavilion is superb, with intricate latticework and exquisite stained-glass windows throughout. It is also renowned for having Iran's loftiest badgir, standing over 33m high, though this one was rebuilt after it collapsed in the 1960s. This garden has an aggregate of different buildings which were designed and constructed during the time of Mohammad Taqi Khan in the Zandieh era. It was the residence of Khan and his government and officials. The wind trapper of this garden is 33 meters high and is considered an architectural masterpiece and a symbol of the Yazdi architects' genius, mental ability, talent and art.
