Scribing a historical monument


April 15, 1402

A cultural heritage activist published pictures of the defacement of a historical monument in the ancient port of Siraf with repeated graffiti. The quadrangle, which is known as “Fireplace” among the natives of the ancient port of Siraf, is in a bad state of conservation and maintenance. This historical monument has become a place for memorial writing and the amount of writings is so much that it has damaged the face of the building and displayed a very ugly scene.

This cultural heritage researcher said: The name of Bandar Siraf shines throughout the ancient history of Iran, and its sea is as old as the Pars Sea (Persian Gulf) and it has hidden and unsolved secrets. The ancient port of Siraf is one of the most important and strategic ancient ports of Iran, which shines like a gem on the fiery face of Iran’s history for thousands of years. However, during the Nowruz visit, the state of its historical monuments was very sad; All of them were left to themselves and were in the worst conditions of maintenance and protection, which is surprising and regrettable.

He continued: One of the buildings located in the ancient port of Siraf, which is known as “Fireplace” among the natives, is a four-story building that dates back to the early Islamic period, which was later changed to a tomb. . This quadrangle has a dome that has completely collapsed and nothing is left of its dome. The famous quadrangle called “Fireplace” on a height overlooking the Siraf Sea on one side and the famous “Lir” valley on the other side is like a shining jewel and stands out.

This researcher and cultural heritage activist continued by referring to the number of Nowruz visitors from the southern coasts and the need for more protection of historical monuments and guidance for tourists and travelers, and stated: In Nowruz, when we are faced with a large number of travelers, not even a native tourist guide or guard In addition to historical buildings and monuments, there was no place to protect the buildings and to speak about the importance of the cultural heritage and the history of the buildings for the people. On the other hand, the state of maintenance of the sea shore and its surroundings was also very inappropriate and piles of garbage were abandoned.
