Suleiman natural prison, Takab, Iran
Used to be a Zoroastrian praying site
Zendane Soleiman, or Soleiman Jail, is indeed a geological structure; remnants of a dried karstic spring. Similar active hot springs are still there around the old dried one, and also one most important of all, inside the Takhte Soleiman UNESCO world heritage site. In the local legends, king Soleiman had imprisoned devils in the well like dried spring. The creator is still open, accessible by about 10 min hiking. When you arrive at the top, it is really breath taking to watch down. There are also haundrads of birds, mostly swallows nesting inside the well. It's view to the plain bellow and the main Takhte Soleiman is also amazing.
This is a hugely impressive site with an amazing history. It stands out from the landscape amazingly. I managed to climb three quarters of the way up, but found it too steep and difficult to reach the top and so was hugely disappointed. My husband and our guide got to the top and told me about the wonderful, deep pit at the top. Most people would manage the ascent.

THE MYSTERIOUS TAKHT_E SOLEYMAN, Iran, ( The Throne of Solomon and the Mysterious Lake)
45 km east of Takab (in west Azerbaijan province), Takht-e Soleyman is located in a very green valley with many beautiful sights and unique historical areas. The beautiful and high city of Takht-e Soleyman has other names such as Ganjak city and Azargashnasb fire temple. A complex of historical monuments has been built in Takht-e Soleyman around a sedimentary spring. Takht-e Soleyman is considered by many to be the birthplace of Zoroaster, and the construction of the Azargashnasb fire temple in this area as the most important temple respected by Iran’s Zoroastrians during the Sassanid era can be a confirmation of this belief.
In the historical castle of Takht-e Soleyman, there is the Azargashnasb Fire Temple, which is one of the most important fire temples of the Sassanid period.
It also was the place of coronation of the kings of this dynasty. As the birthplace of Zoroaster reaches three thousand years, its eternal fire has been considered a symbol of the authority of Zoroastrianism and Sassanid rule for seven centuries.
Today, only the remains of the fire temple of Azargashnasb remains, which is called the Throne of Solomon. Khosrow Anoshirvan and Khosrow Parviz were Sassanid kings who paid special attention to this fire temple and tried to develop it.
Takht-e Soleyman, Azargashnasb Fire Temple, Takab
Azargashnasb Fire Temple
This fire temple dates back to more than 3,000 years ago. Religious ceremonies and ritual prayers were held in this fire temple. This fire temple was also the place of celebrations and coronation of the kingdom. Azargashnasb fire temple has been one of the most important fire temples of ancient times and the richest place of worship of its time.
After the decline of the Sassanid rule and the acceptance of Islam by the Iranians until the 4th century AH, a small number of believers of the ancient Iranian religion lived in this place and the fire temple was used on a smaller scale than during the reign of Abaqa Khan Mughal with extensive repairs. With impressive and construction of new buildings, this place was used for some time as a summer capital, a summer resort.
When we enter the Takht-e Soleyman area, we see the beautiful view of Takht-e Soleyman lake in front of us. This complex is located next to a beautiful natural lake where the water of this lake boils at a depth of 120 meters and rises. However, this water is not suitable for drinking and agriculture.
Legends about the existence of treasure in the water of the lake were whispered among the people, that in the period of Cyrus the Achaemenid to the Sassanids, whenever the enemy attacked, they threw precious objects in the lake so that the enemy could not reach them.
Archaeologists have found the remains of human life here as well. Historians say that the Holy Grail of Jesus Christ was kept in this city, the same place where Jesus Christ drank on the last night of his life. It is not without reason that this collection has been registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List and the list of the national monuments.
The region dates back to 3,000 years ago in terms of human habitation; And it is one of the most important historical monuments of the country, which has been registered as the fourth Iranian monument in the UNESCO World Heritage. This collection is completely unique both in terms of the existence of archaeological works and in terms of its connection with written historical and mythological documents in the north and west of Iran.The world heritage of Takht-e Soleyman near the city of Takab includes the signs and remains of human settlement from the first millennium BC to the 11th century AH.
