The archaeological site of Takht-süleymaniye is located in a volcanic mountain valley in northwestern Iran. The site includes a major Zoroastrian sanctuary partially rebuilt during the Ilkhanate (Mongol) period (13th century) and a temple dedicated to Anahita from the Sassanid period (6th and 7th centuries). The site has great symbolic significance. The design of the fire temple, palace and general layout had a major influence on the development of Islamic architecture.
