An ancient Zoroastrian religious building, approximately 5-7 century. The dome collapsed, and during the restoration (2007-2009), a transparent protective canopy was installed in its place. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the temple of fire was temporarily converted into a mosque by the Turks (c. 1724-35), then the arches were strengthened and the facade was changed. Then it was used as a warehouse, housing or outbuildings. In 1986, it received the status of a monument of national importance under the USSR, and was confirmed in 2007. You can get into the temple, just knock on the door and ask to see it!
