Temple of Khorheh

The historica Khorheh Village is one of the archaic regions of the Markazi (Central) province, and is located at 31 km to the north west of Delijan, alongside main road running between Tehran and Isfahan. It is an archaeological relic, most probably a temple, related to the Seleucidian era (4th or 3rd centuries BC. Seleucidian was established by Seleucus, Alexander's officer, in surrounded Persia). Two columns of stone to the elevation of 6 m remain from this vestige. This historical monument is an extremely valuable one. According to the studies and views of 'Hertsfold' this was the temple of the 'God of War'. This structure overlooks the southern plain and the Khorheh River flows close to it. The ramparts and columns are the remnants of a large structure, most probably were constructed 23 centuries ago. The results of excavations performed in this historical vicinity reveal that this structure is comprised of columns, chambers, courtyards, halls and corridors. There is a mineral water spring and a pond adjacent to this historical vestige.
