About five kilometers away from the famous Persepolis, in another famous area called Necropolis, there are many magnificent historical monuments usually dating back to Achaemenid, Sassanid and Elamite Dynasties. Ka'ba-ye Zartosht in Marvdasht is one of these stunning remnants. Just across from the mountain there is a square construction which is important not only because of its historical background but also as a religious heritage. Although any religious document has never been found there, many believe that the place was used as a sanctuary. As an interior part of Ka'ba-ye Zartosht in Marvdasht is covered with smoke, historians guess that it was the place to worship the goddess of fire. On the other hand, black stones on the white background of this construction represent the popular Muslim figure of Al Hajaru Al Aswad, the Black Stone in Kaaba in Mecca. This square construction has only one entrance and the stairs in front of the door are all made of stones. It was built with marble like mortar stone and owns shelves made up of black stones. The combination of the colors white and black doubles the awe of Ka'ba-ye Zartosht in Marvdasht. To travel to Iran, experience perfect services made available by Alaedin Travel.
