Kharanagh village
Kharanaq , also Romanized as Kharānaq, Kharāneq, and Kharānoq; also known as Khowrāneq ("land of sun"), Khurūnaq or Kharanagh, is a village of Iran 70 km north of the city of Yazd in Rabatat Rural District of Kharanaq District, Ardakan County, Yazd province. It serves as the capital of both the district and the rural district.
The town and its minaret have become a minor tourist attraction. Kharanaq, which was known as a world and historical village, was introduced as the 23rd city of Yazd province on July 6, 2020. This 4500-year-old city is surrounded by mountains on one side and desert from the other. Many buildings in Kharanaq/ Kharanagh are completely collapsed and ramshackle, but among them, the remaining mosque from the Qajar period, a shaking minaret from 17th and the caravanserai of the city have been reconstructed and can be visited.
