Passage of reconciliation: a narrow alley with a long story
Gozer Ashti Kenan is a narrow and winding alley in the heart of the historical fabric of Yazd city, which has become one of the popular tourist attractions due to its special architecture and naming philosophy.
Architecture:
The architecture of Gozer Ashti Kenan is an example of traditional Iranian architecture. High walls, vaulted ceilings, brick arches, and narrow alleys make this passage a cool and shady place in the oppressive heat of the desert. The wind turbines that can be seen at the top of this passage show the intelligence and ingenuity of Iranian architects in using natural elements for air conditioning.
Naming:
The name Gozer Ashti-Kanan has an interesting story. It is said that in the past, if two people were angry with each other, they would come to this pass to reconcile and the elders of the place would remove the turbidity between them through mediation and dialogue.
