Noushijan Tappe, Pre-Islamic castle in Malayer, Iran
The Noushijan Tappe castle stands on an elevated position, featuring an adobe semicircular octagon structure with twelve wooden columns supporting a substantial ceiling.
Built before 800 BC, this archaeological site underwent three distinct civilization cycles, from the Median period through the Achaemenian and Sassanian dynasties.
The western building contains two connected chambers with evidence of fire ceremonies, indicating its function as one of the earliest known fire temples in Iran.
Located 20 kilometers northwest of Malayer and 60 kilometers from Hamadan, the site includes multiple storage rooms and an unfinished tunnel system.
The central temple features egg-shaped vault niches on its southern and western walls, demonstrating advanced architectural techniques of the Median period.
