June 5—a public holiday in Iran—marking a record-breaking day for one of the country’s most iconic heritage sites.

According to Atta Hassanpour, the provincial tourism chief, the ancient welcomed an unprecedented number of visitors in a single day, highlighting a growing national interest in Iran’s cultural landmarks.

"This exceptional turnout reflects the increasing recognition of Falak-ol-Aflak’s historical and cultural significance among the public," Hassanpour said, adding that the site also witnessed a surge in visitors during the Nowruz (Iranian New Year) holidays earlier this year.
