Gom Gom Archaeological Site

🕰️When was it built?

The historic town is attributed to the Sasanian period and was added to the National Heritage List of Iran in 2007, under number 19682. The listing covers the whole site, not a single building.

🏛️What was it built for?

Ancient urban sites help us understand everyday life and patterns of settlement. Building traces, routes and soil layers can help archaeologists explore how a settlement developed and changed. At Gom Gom, the mountain setting and the relationship with nearby villages are also part of the visit.

🎒Good to know before you go

• Ask a guide familiar with Asemanabad for help reaching the site, and wear shoes suitable for routes outside town.
• Avoid walking on sensitive parts of the site and leave any pottery or other objects where you find them.
• Plan for daylight so the return route is visible and the surrounding ground is easier to read.
