SAEDNEWS: Nicknamed as the ‘City of the Mouthless’, Shahar-e Yeri is a unique archaeological site in the village of Pirazman in Meshkin Shahr in northwestern Ardabil province.
The remarkable site encompasses an iron-age fortress, three prehistorical temples, and numerous stones adorned with peculiar mouthless faces.
During its prime, Shahar-e Yeri witnessed ceremonial burials with elaborate rituals rooted in religious beliefs.
In recent years, extensive restoration efforts have been carried out to preserve the iron-age fortress, prehistorical temples, and the remarkable collection of mouthless stone carvings.
To safeguard the sprawling 400-hectare site from harsh natural elements, substantial protective structures have been erected, as confirmed by local authorities.
Shahar-e Yeri was officially recognized as a national heritage site in 1931.
