Saryazd Fortress: One of the Oldest Banks in History
Saryazd is a 7th-century Sassanian fortress in Yazd which used to be the Zoroastrian religious center during the Sassanid era in Iran. Although called a fortress, the building was not a military structure. It was rather a safe deposit in which the residents of Sar Yazd village could store valuables such as gold and jewels as well as food or grain. Accordingly, its labyrinthine architecture was designed to make it difficult to enter and navigate. The structure contained 468 chambers over three floors, connected through narrow and complex passages.
