Fire temple in Takht-e Soleyman, major Zoroastrian sacred fire

Adur Gushnasp was the name of a Zoroastrian sacred fire of the highest grade, which served as one of the three most sacred fires of pre-Islamic Iran; the two others being the Adur Farnbag and Adur Burzen-Mihr. Out of the three, Adur Gushnasp is the only fire whose temple structure has been discovered and for which archaeological, sigillographical, and textual evidence are all available.
