Shahr-e Sūkhté (Persian: شهرِ سوخته, meaning [The] Burnt City), also spelled as Shahr-e Sukhteh and Shahr-i Shōkhta, is an archaeological site of a sizable Bronze Age urban settlement, associated with the Jiroft culture.
It is located in Sistan and Baluchistan Province, the southeastern part of Iran, on the bank of the Helmand River, near the Zahedan-Zabol road. It was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in June 2014.
Plaque identifying the Burnt City registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The reasons for the unexpected rise and fall of the Burnt City are still wrapped in mystery.
Artifacts recovered from the city demonstrate a peculiar incongruity with nearby civilizations of the time and it has been speculated that Shahr-e-Sukhteh might ultimately provide concrete evidence of a civilization east of prehistoric Persia that was independent of ancient Mesopotamia.

Ancient Persia, Modern Iran
Iran is a delightful country to visit and I felt perfectly safe throughout my 3 week trip. It’s a land of contrasts with very friendly and receptive people of all ages living in a milieu of interesting billboards and street scenes.
It would have been daunting to try to label each picture and place so I did the best I could. If a place is labelled, the slides following will be from that place as well. I prefer that the viewer see the slide show as a sampling of the great sights and delicacies one can enjoy there, from the “main cities” of Tehran, Kashan, Kerman, Isfahan, Kashan, Shiraz, Hamadan, Qom and Yazd to less well-known and smaller places including Meybod, Natanz, Neyriz and Shushtar.
There are grand palaces, palatial homes, citadels (Bam and Khoramabad) and ancient ruins, the most famous being Persepolis. I found the Ali Sadr caves and the Zurkhaneh (musical gym in Yazd) intriguing.
And let’s not forget the endless bazaars full of spices, colors and crafts or the Mediterranean agriculture transformed into exquisite cuisine. I told my husband that upon retirement, “I want to go where the pomegranates grow!”

See
Masjid-e Jame
Atashkadeh – Zoroastrian fire temple
Amir Chakhmakh Complex
A traditional roofed alley, represents the old fabric of the city
Masjid-e Jame (Friday Mosque), Masjid-e Jame street, which runs off Imam St. Dating back to the fourteenth century, it is well worth a visit. It is an example of finest Persian mosaics and excellent architecture. Its minarets are the highest in the country. Admire it at night when it is lit up.
Yazd Water Museum, Imam St corner. House converted to a museum with a lot of information about the Canat water distribution system. Contains nice cool underground rooms. Free.
Takyeh Amir Chakhmagh (Amir Chakhmagh Complex). Originally a mosque, a caravanserai, a tekyeh, a bathhouse, a cold water well, and a confectionery, this imposing structure fronts a square in the old town, opposite the water museum. You can pay a small amount to go inside and climb to the top, giving good local views, including of a nearby badgir (water reservoir with wind towers). The square has interesting fountains and is nice at night.
Cistern of Fatemeh-ye-Golshan. Easily-viewed reservoir with 4 badgirs (wind towers).
Amir Chakhmagh Mosque (Old Mosque). Mosque next to the Amir Chakhmagh Complex
Market Square Clock, Imam St.
Atashkadeh (Zoroastrian Fire Temple), Kashani Road (a few kilometres from the old town; a taxi might be best). The fire on the inside has supposedly been burning since AD 470. Free but donations appreciated.
Dakhmeh (Zoroastrian Towers of Silence). Huge circular walls on top of hills, where the dead were left to be picked clean by vultures. A quiet, serene place
Alexander's Prison. Neither built by Alexander the Great nor a prison, but a 15th-century domed school which is quite an interesting sight with a cafe in the 'prison room'. Guides say the deep well in the middle of its courtyard was built by Alexander the Great and was used as a dungeon although this is not confirmed. Also called Ziaiyyeh school.
Dowlat Abad Gardens. With a building with a beautiful large badgir. One of nine Persian gardens inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Ayatollah Khamenei considered the recent disaster as a divine trial and a situation for officials to perform their duties, adding, “During these past two days, officials, including the president, visited and expressed their sympathy for the survivors. I hope that these sympathetic attitudes continue, in practice, effectively helping the people; and, I hope they can reduce the pain and sufferings of the people, considering the cold weather is upon us.”
