It is relayed that in the 13th
century AD, Ardakan’s foundation was laid in Zardak area
(whose ruins may still be visited in a place 10 km from
the present-day Ardakan). The only building that has
remained relatively intact to date is the dome of the old
city’s mosque. The existing historical buildings found
in the present location of the city mostly date back to
three to six centuries ago.
Zardak
Mosque, which has a niche with very beautiful plaster
works, is believed to have been connected by a burrow to
Kachip Mosque and there to Meibod’s Narin Castle. No
trace of this underground tunnel is found today.
