Historical sites

- Pa Minar Mosque: The minaret of this mosque bears a Kufic inscription in brick, dating it to 1068–1069. This makes it the second oldest dated minaret in Iran, the oldest being at Saveh. The minaret makes part of a Seljuk mosque, which has been restored during the Il-Khanid period.
