Iran’s Archeology Research Center and a team from Warsaw University are studying the fire temple of Azar Borzin Mehr, a quadric-arch.

Archeologists will work to figure out the plan and elevations of the building as well as the cultural elements of the area. Early studies led to the discovery of a dual-purpose space built in the heights near the temple and used as an ablution room.

The group is also studying the firebox and the main hall, in which worshippers circumambulated the sacred fire.

Azar-Borzin Mehr is one of the three major Zoroastrian fire temples belonging to the Sassanian dynasty (224-651 CE) and was used by farmers and villagers.
