Adrian Temple, Fire temple in District 12, Tehran, Iran

The Adrian Temple features stone construction with six columns supporting a portico that leads to the main assembly and prayer hall beneath a dome.

The temple's foundation stone was placed in August 1913, with completion delayed until 1917 due to financial constraints faced by local Zoroastrian communities.

The domed fire chamber, known as ātašgāh, contains a sacred flame that has burned continuously since 470 CE, visible through glass windows.

Located at coordinates 35.695694, 51.413972, the temple welcomes visitors during specified hours while maintaining its role as an active place of worship.

The transfer of the original sacred fire to Adrian Temple required a 25-day journey from the Fire Temple of Yazd to its new home.
