Historical monuments The Complex of Izadkhast is roughly 135 km south of Isfahan. The complex consists of Izad-Khast Castle, a caravanserai, and a Safavid-period bridge. The castle structure is of particular interest due to the different architectural styles incorporated into the construction of the building, including Sassanid and Qajar periods. The architecture of the castle is unique to Izadkhast, and only comparisons in building materials can be made to other sites in the region. World Heritage status This site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on 9 August 2007, in the Cultural category. ==Gallery==
