Ancient hill Noshijan(Malayer, Hamedan)

Noshijan Temple near Malayer is one of the most important ancient monuments of the country related to the Median era. This beautiful adobe building due to filling it with stones and .. In the course of it, survived and is palpable to any visitors. Signs around the work artefacts in accordance with any part of it is installed. Noshijan history goes back to 2800 years ago..

At noon on September and relatively cool, we were moving from Nahavand to Tuyserkan and seeing this ancient attraction in the middle of our way was part of the plan.. Noshijan hill is on a side road about 20 km northwest of Malayer. If you are going from Malayer to Hamedan, after 15 km, on the left side of the side road, which also has a signboard, it will take you to Noushijan.. We did the routing with the map and finally, in front of the door of the yard, the guard gave us permission to enter.. He opened the door and showed the view and we left. The guard is a long way from the top of the hill. You can go to the top of the hill by car, and then the built-in stairs will take us to the walls of this interesting place.. It is built on a hill and has its own architectural elements.

We start by visiting the first part near the stairs . Next to it, we have the temple, which is one of the features of the architecture of blind windows in Urartian architecture. (in north west of Iran) It has been common. I remember that the blind windows and the columned hall were among the constant questions of the Iranian art and architecture course and I did not understand it until I was facing these blind windows of Noshijan temple live..

The columned hall is lower than the ground floor. I go around the building to enter it. 12 pillars made of wood with a brick arrangement around it. In the courtyard of the columned hall, a tunnel staircase goes down and the moisture at the bottom is felt.. He did not write the reason anywhere.

The industrial town and the ambient noise are a bit annoying here, but it was a pleasure to be on top of the hill and see this interesting work..
