Zoroastrian Fire Temple of Kerman

The Zoroastrian Fire Temple of Kerman stands on Zarisf Street (today's Shohada Street), at the intersection with Borzu Amighi Street. On 10 Mehr 1380 (Solar Hijri) it was inscribed on Iran's National Heritage List as a national monument, under registration number 4190. The main building of the fire temple was constructed in 1303 (Solar Hijri). Its brick architecture is distinguished by an entrance gate adorned with three words, "Humat, Hukht, Hvarsht" (Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds).

Inside this cultural and historical complex, in addition to the fire temple itself, you will find the Anthropology Museum of Iranian Zoroastrians, which according to sources is the only anthropology museum of the Zoroastrian community in the world. The fire kept in this temple is said to have been brought from the Sasanian era and kept burning to this day. With the garden surrounding it and the building's symmetrical architecture, set against Kerman's desert surroundings, the site offers a distinctive spiritual and historical atmosphere that invites visitors not only to enjoy a cultural visit but also to reflect on history and spirituality.

To reach this place, simply enter the city of Kerman and head toward Zarisf Street (Shohada); the Borzu Amighi intersection will lead you to the entrance of the fire temple. The best time to visit is in the morning or late afternoon in spring and autumn, when the weather is milder and your visit will be more relaxed. When visiting, please respect the religious and cultural character of the site: avoid touching parts of the building unnecessarily, take photographs without disturbing others, and do not leave rubbish in front of the entrance, so that this valuable heritage is preserved for future generations.
