You continue to discover traditional structures of the historical cities. Exploring Kashan, Yazd and Kerman manifests how our ancestors succeeded in adapting urban structures and buildings to the dry and arid climates of the country. The houses of Kashan, particularly the luxurious ones, benefit a pond, special room to spend summer and qanat to have moderate weather. In Yazd, the impact of wind captures is more touchable. We call Yazd, the city of wind captures. But the common point among these cities is royal construction of Persian gardens.
