Spice Road, which dates back to 400 years will be registered on Iran's National Heritage List in the near future.
This ancient road was established in Bandar Abbas during the Safavid era. It passes through the cities of Lar and Jahrom, and terminates in Isfahan.
There is a water reservoir and two caravanserais near Chahtalkh Village, Mehr News Agency reported. Then the road becomes arduous and impassable.
The stone-paved road is considered an engineering and road building masterpiece.
In the past, merchants used to transfer commodities such as textiles and spices from India to Bandar Abbas. Then they transferred the products to other cities, including Isfahan. Therefore, the road was named "Spice Road".
Currently, only five km of the road in Jahrom have been found intact, of which one km is stone paved. Remnants of historical monuments are seen along the road.
