It is the first city in Fars Province on the Isfahan-Shiraz Highway.

The Complex of Izadkhast is located in the Fars Province of Iran, roughly 135 km south of Isfahan. The complex consists of Izad-Khast Castle, a caravanserai, and a Safavid-period bridge.[4] The castle structure is of particular interest due to the different architectural styles incorporated into the construction of the building, including Sassanid and Qajar periods. The architecture of the castle is unique to Izadkhast, and only comparisons in building materials can be made to other sites in the region.[5]


History


In 1779 Zaki Khan of the Zand Dynasty committed such atrocities here that his own men decided to murder him.[6]
