In the south of the city of Kharameh, there is a fire temple known as the “Chahar Taq of the Gebrans,” which in terms of its domed structure and vaulting is somewhat similar to the Bahram Fire Temple in Khirastahban. One of the reasons the Kharameh fire temple has remained intact is that this building was active until the fifth and sixth centuries AH, as the famous historian Ostokhri writes in his book Al-Mamalik wal-Masalik about Pars in the fourth century: “There is no city or region without a fire temple, and they hold it in reverence.” The Kharameh fire temple has a domed roof and vaulting inside its squinches and follows the architectural style of the Bahram Gur fire temples of the Sasanian period.
