The Shiraz Fire Temple, completed in 1965, stands in Shiraz County as a modern expression of Zoroastrian religious architecture. Built in the Pahlavi architectural style, the structure employs traditional materials—brick, stone, and mortar—to create a fire temple that reflects mid-twentieth-century Iran's engagement with its pre-Islamic heritage. As a functioning place of worship for the Zoroastrian faith, the temple represents continuity of one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions in its historic Persian heartland.
