A wonderful Pillar at the Center of the Circular City of Gor

 A wonderful Pillar at the Center of the Circular City of Gor This minar was like a tower which is built in the middle of the Sasanian City of Gor, named Milo Sassanid Ancient Tower. That is very famous among travelers and orientalists. This structure is first found by Pascal Coste and Eugène Flandin. It was a unique tower in Iranian Architecture and is called the legend of Iranian history. That was Alexander, the part of the Persian Territory, defeating its regions and its cities, ending in the capture of the Persepolis in the year of 330 BC. He constructed a dam in a close-by gorge, keeping the water of the river connected to the plain, where the city is located. That is fully flooding it and making a lake that stayed until the end of the 3rd century AD. After that, king Sassanid Persian tunneled to drain it and destroyed it.  A wonderful Pillar at the Center of the Circular City of Gor The site of the ancient city of Gor with the pillar at its center.
