Yazd Fire Temple, Fire temple in Yazd, Iran
The Yazd Fire Temple features a bronze goblet containing a sacred flame within a glass enclosure, surrounded by gardens with fruit trees.
The temple's sacred fire originated in 470 AD and found its permanent residence in this Neoclassical structure, constructed with stone and brick in 1934.
The temple maintains one of nine Atash Behrams worldwide, representing the highest grade of consecrated fire in Zoroastrian religious practices and traditions.
Visitors can explore the temple complex from 9 AM to 1 PM and 4 PM to 7 PM, viewing the eternal flame through protective glass panels.
The sacred fire has remained continuously lit for over 1500 years, making it the longest-burning ceremonial flame in Iran.
