The historical Espakho Fire Temple is one of the oldest archaeological structures in North Khorasan Province next to a village known by the same name. It dates back to the Sassanid era. Archaeologists consider the special architecture of this fire temple which has a dome roof as an attractive phenomenon. The architectural features of this building, including the use of unpolluted rocks, small wooden beams of juniper tree, sarooj and the arches used in this building, indicate that its construction was formed in the Sassanid and Islamic periods. Of course, in another theory, the architecture of this building is from an elephant's foot which is considered to be the most stable type of architecture. The building’s design is a combination of a porch with a four-story plan, a hall and a square room in the eastern part. The roof of the dome-shaped room is like a hemisphere and is comparable to the Sassanid foursome dome.
