Adur Gushnasp

The temple structure incorporates brick, stone, and travertine materials within its design, displaying both Sasanian and Ilkhanid architectural elements.

The sacred site underwent multiple construction phases between the 4th and 13th centuries, serving as one of the three most important Zoroastrian fire temples.

The temple contained an eternal flame representing divine power in Zoroastrian worship and functioned as a significant destination for religious pilgrimages.

The temple remains are accessible through the Chaman Rural District and form part of the larger Takht-e Soleyman archaeological complex.

Archaeological excavations revealed a Sasanian seal with an inscription identifying the site's high priest as the guardian of the Gushnasp fire.
