Kashaneh Tower

The inscription on top of the entrance of the tower attributes the building to the year 700 of the lunar Hijri calendar.^[2] The local people however believe that the tower has been a Zoroastrian fire temple during Sassanian times. André Godard however, attributes the building to Ghazan khan, which is in agreement with the inscription on the building indicating its date of construction.^[3][2] Furthermore, André Godard claims that the structure was originally named Ghazaneh which was later corrupted into Kashaneh.^[3] The inscription on top of the building however, attributes it to Öljaitü.^[2]

At times, it was used as a watchtower. However, the tower's shape suggests that it might have had uses in astronomy, as it resembles an observatory in many ways.^[2]

The tower's roof had at one point collapsed but was later repaired.^[2][4]

It was enlisted among the national heritage sites of Iran with the registration number 69 on 6 January 1932.^[2][5]
