> Madresseh Khan (Khan’s School)

 Khan Bozorg (Mohammad Taghi Khan Bafqi) built the school outside the city walls of Yazd circa 1150AH. The school is built in two parts. The latter and grander section was built later by Khan Bozorg’s son: Ali Naghi Khan. The old style of most of this school has been lost to modern restoration. The original plans and documents relating to the school are stored at the University of Tehran’s Central Library under document number 6724.
