Ziyaeieh School better known as Alexander’s Prison is a monument in Yazd, which is believed to have been built at the time of Alexander’s attack on the Persian Empire. It is said that this structure was used as a prison and that it later was changed to a school. This mud brick structure has a 2-meter deep well in its courtyard which leads to a 5-meter deep basement. There is a fountain, remaining from the original building, in the center of the basement. Alexander’s Prison has mostly Mongolian architectural elements and therefore lacks any tilework.

خیلی این مکان رو دوست داشتم. واقعا اگر لیدر همراهمان نبود خیلی مطالب رو از دست می دادیم. سقف بلند بنای اصلی مربوط به دوره ایلخانی فوق العاده و حیرت انگیز است.

We hired a local tour guide and she took us here first, its the first monument to check out when in Fahadan Historical District. it was an interesting experience to know about the history of this place.

It shouldn't take more than 20 minutes to check this place out and make sure there is someone there to tell you about the history of it. there are little shops selling handicrafts inside the complex.

قدم زدن در خیابان های قدیمی یزد خیلی حس فوق العاده ای داره. زندان اسکندر در یکی از همین محله های زیباست.
