The stone temple of Dash Kasen is unique because of its rock carving. It includes 3 caves and believed to be a Mithraism temple in Sasanid era (226-651 CE). It looks like an incomplete rectangular and on two sides of it, you can see symmetrical patterns carved on ILkhanid Dynasty, in order of ILkhanid ruler Soltan Mohammad Khodabandeh and his sister َULjayto Khatun (1280-1316).
The beautiful Muqarnas and floral arches carved on walls display the Persian art. The other wonderful carving on these sides is two 3-5 meters dragons which remind you a chines temple. The dragons are the symbol of prosperous living and protection of the monarchy.
. The sunrise could be the perfect time so you can see the great view of the field and the Soltanieh Dome which is not so far from it.
