ABC 064 — Robat-e Sorkh
Remains of a robat (small caravanserail or halting place) with domed roofs, made from sun-dried bricks. Most probably the barrel-vaulted building on the right side of the main building is the haoz (water reservoir). On the left side of the building a horse and a man are standing, two men are sitting on the ground. Behind the robat is a distinctive cliffy hill.
