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.
