Mir Fatah Ice-Pit, Malayer This relic is from the Qajar period and its founder is Mir Fatah. The structure is constructed of brick and is a dome like shape and located on the boulevard on the way from Malayer to Borujerd. The structure has two doors or entrances, one is similar to a corridor from which ice is obtained, and the other is the main door which leads to the place where the ice is kept. In this area, both internal and external two rows of bricks have been laid, in order to prevent melting ice in summer, thereby acting as a conductor. Materials used in the construction of this structure are brick and stone. Shir Sangi (Stony Lion), Hamedan This statue is located in the park and square of Sang Shir. There are various theories as to the history of this statue. There could be a possibility that the same is from the Parthian period. Others suggest that this could be a relic of Medes times till the Parthian era. Yet another version holds as well, and that is that Alexander issued orders that this statue be sculptured in honor of the memory of one of his commanders. This statue is held in great respect by the people. |
