Siahkuh and Haramserail

The Haramserail is said to have been the facilities for Shah Abbas’ wives and children, when he was hunting at Qasr-i Bahram. It is constructed from a mix of baked bricks and mud intermingled with large local stones, and the layout is completely unlike most other caravanserais. Here it is, in the 1970s. The central ‘track’ is part of the complex water-supply system. [SA.M.10]
