Esfezar (Persian: اسفزار) is a village in Mud Rural District of Mud District, Sarbisheh County, South Khorasan province, Iran.

History

In 1383, Timur the conqueror captured Esfezar after it had revolted. Because it had interrupted his heavily planned invasion of Georgia, he ordered that all survivors of the Siege be cemented into the walls of the city. Though it is likely that their bodies were later removed by Timur himself. This could also be a myth, to try and demonize Timur.
