Yazd Historical Texture Under Restoration

A budget of 35 billion rials ($830,000) has been allotted for the restoration of the historical texture of Yazd Province and the project has already been underway since the beginning of the current Iranian year (March 21).
Aiming to promote urban convenience for local residents and tourists visiting the ancient city and improving its eligibility as a world tourism spot, 14 restoration plans have been fueled with budget, according to Movahed Mirshamsi, a supervisor of urban development projects at Yazd Municipality.
"The projects are focused on the popular tourist destinations and damaged structures throughout the historical zone," ISNA quoted him as saying. Dolat Abad Garden, built in 1747 is one of the ancient structures in need of repair. 
"The stone sidewalk and the walls stretching along the central artificial stream in the garden need restoration," the official said.
