The old part of Bam was one of the world's most spectacular and
best-preserved deserted medieval cities.
In architectural and archaeological terms, the ancient Middle Eastern
palace city was of major international importance. Surrounded by a
magnificent 16th-century city wall, and entered into through complex
gateways, the old town has long been famous in Iran for its vast urban
landscape of abandoned houses, shops and mosques.
