Sepeh

Sepeh, later known as Nosratabad, is an oasis on the desert road between Kerman and Sistan. Historical geographers recorded its name in several forms, including Espe and Esbiz. Long underground channels carried water to cultivated land in the arid surroundings, and the settlement offered a stopping place for travellers and trading caravans crossing between western Iran, Sistan and India. Remains of an inn and minarets recall its place on this long route.
