Fire Temple of Isfahan

About

The Fire Temple of Isfahan (Âtašgâh-e Esfahân or Ātashgāh-e Esfahān) is a Sasanian era archaeological complex located on a hill of the same name about 8 kilometers west of the city center of Isfahan, Iran. The hill, which rises about 210 meters above the surrounding plain, was previously called Maras or Marabin after a village near there, and it is by that name that the site is referred to by Arab historians.
