It is hard to imagine that centuries earlier people were living here; people who created such high pillars and beautiful buildings with their art; although those people are no longer among us, but the art of handicraftsmen and artists that lasts forever. According to the excavations in this area, archaeologists have discovered works of the Parthian, Sassanid, and Islamic periods that illustrate the use of the region during the past ages. Temple of Khorheh, which currently only two pillars remained, was just a governor house and consists of three linked buildings in an area of 3000 square meters and, like Khorheh Historical Site in Mahallat during the period of the Ilkhanid, was changed to the cemetery. To see the site, which is about 48 kilometers northeast of the Mahallat, you should go to the village of Khorheh and from there you will reach the remnants of the temple.
