Imam Tower of Amlash

The Imam Mil, which locals also know as the Imam Mil Tower and the Sassanid Fire Temple, is one of the stunning attractions of Amlash County, located one kilometer northeast of the village of Imam in the Samam Rankouh rural district. The Imam Mil can be seen from afar with its towering stature. This tower, built on a high point, attracts every viewer's attention with its charming display and captivates their heart. It is worth mentioning that this tower is more than 2000 meters above sea level.

To visit the Imam Mil Tower, you must head to a tall and beautiful hill. The tower is situated on this hill. We promise you that despite the amazing beauties of the path, you will never get tired. After a few minutes of walking and passing through the unique beauties of the hill, you will find yourself in front of a tall and cylindrical tower. The white plaster used to cover the outer wall of the Imam Mil Tower has not been able to hide the old and tired face of this historical monument. Although the Imam Mil Tower is in dire need of restoration, with its upright stature and exemplary grandeur, it has given unparalleled beauty to Amlash County and the village of Imam.

This beautiful tower was once a guide for caravan routes during the Shah Abbas era. At that time, travelers learned about the road route through this tower and thus did not go astray. According to many residents of Amlash, this tower was used as a fire temple during the Sassanid period. However, over time it lost its prosperity and today has become a historical and tourist site.

At its peak, the Imam Mil Tower was more than 670 meters tall. But today, due to neglect and the passage of time on its weary body, this height has somewhat decreased. Many people of the village of Imam in Amlash recognize their village by the Imam Mil Tower — a historic tower towering over a beautiful village!
