Behābād

Behabad lies in a dry valley east of Bafq, where fields are watered by underground channels and the seasonal Shurab River crosses the district. Wild almond and pistachio grow in the surrounding country. In the old fortified quarter, Hajj Mehdi, a local headman, built a religious gathering place in the Zand period. Its two-storey iwan and surrounding alcoves formed part of a complex with a mosque, bath and water cistern.
