Description

Gamp Fire Temple of Fasa

Next to a small lake, there are remains from the Sasanian era, among which a fire temple can be seen whose roof has collapsed. This small lake is called Qamp in the local dialect. The locals know this fire temple as Qorban Gah and attribute it to Tahmuras, the king of the Pishdadian dynasty. Next to the fire temple, remains of a city from the Sasanian period are also visible, including the Salman stone measuring 2 meters long and half a meter wide, with precious inscriptions engraved on it. Some believe it is related to the city gate of Fasa during the Sasanian era. Trees called Murd, one of the sacred Zoroastrian trees, are also seen throughout the area. Although they are located within the farmers' agricultural lands, cutting or uprooting them is not permitted. This site was registered as one of Iran's national heritage sites on 12 Esfand 1315 (March 3, 1937).
