International and historical collection of Takht-e-Suleiman
is located in West Azerbaijan province, 45 kilometers northeast of Takab with
an area of 12.5 hectares and is noted as one of the historical sites of
Iran. Takht-e-Suleiman which was once
known as Shiz, is the same famous city which is the birthplace of Zoroaster
according to the ancient writings. In terms of human settlements, the antiquity
of Takht-e- Suleiman dates back to three thousand years ago. It is one of the
most important monuments of the country registered as the fourth of Iran's
monument in the list of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites.
Now in Takht-e- Suleiman monuments from the early Sassanid to
the Mongol periods are identified, but since the date of this site goes back to
the Achaemenid and Parthian dynasties, undoubtedly in case the excavations are
continued, important works related to
pre-Sassanid period would be discovered.
The spring of Takht-e-Suleiman began to boil thousands of years ago and
gradually glaze effects of the compounds in water, and sediments covered the
outer edges. This trend continued for thousands of years and caused the water
to create a vase shape in its surrounding. Travel to Northern part of Iran and Stroll through less visited places in
