Isfahan Atashgah is located a few kilometers away from the main city center. It is a Zoroastrain fire temple based on top of a hill and dates back to Sassanid period. This archaeological complex can be reached after climbing a height of about 200 meters toward the hilltop. The hill has been named after the nearby village and is called Marabin or Maras.
