Ah, Meybod the beautiful section of the town with traditional architecture. Well preserved, the town was on the Silk Road and a major cross road of long distant trade. Here you see an Abanbar where water was preserved and cooled using the air towers on either side of the dome. We passed through Naaien and Ardakan on our way but did not stop to take pictures. Both towns are as nice as Meybod, nevertheless.
