Dowlatābād-e Esfandaqeh

Dowlatabad lies in the Esfandaqeh country west of Jiroft, among the valleys and uplands of southern Kerman. Its traditional settlement includes mudbrick buildings, while the district preserves an old castle and the tomb of Mir Heydar Mahni. The latter, set among gardens, belongs to the Safavid period. These monuments recall the families and local powers that left their mark on the settlements between the highlands and the Jiroft plain.
