The palatine complex, almost completely collapsed, remains the lower part of the walls of the enceinte towers. The large central palace built in sarootch (clay and lime) respects a cross plan. The impressive Hall was surmounted by a huge dome of 57 m. Fragments of mosaics on grounds of naked women are visible at the museum in Tehran and at the Louvre in Paris. Below, the staircase leads to the temple of the water goddess, Anahita, wraparound by a corridor that acts as a water circulation system intended to refresh the room. See also the ruins of a temple of fire, the chambers reserved for the mages and the symbol of a bull carved in stone. At 500 m in the west, also dwell on the rubble of buildings and a monument votif composed of two columns surmounted by corinthians capitals.
