A vast historical site near the city of Tekāb, and by Takht-e Soleymān village of West Azarbāyjān Province (north-west of Iran), Takht-e Soleyman comprises a collection of historical constructions around a natural lake.

The ancient site was inhabited in a number of historical periods, including the Median, Achaemenid, Parthian, Sassanid, and Mongol eras, when it continued to keep its majesty as a civilization center. The four-vault fire-temple and the ritualistically regarded structures therein, and the Ānāhitā Temple, as well as the Sassanid and Ilkhanid period palaces represent the site with its unique architectural remains.
