Numerous hot springs have been seen around the mountain of Soleyman Prison with healing properties. During the prosperity of the Azargoshasb fire temple, the Sassanids used the mountain of Soleyman as a prison and some of its units as the fortress of the guard. Some archaeologists believe that the prison mountain was originally like Lake Takht-e Soleiman, and then its water dried up and returned to its current state.
