Kangavar

Kangavar (Persian: , Kangvar) is a town in Kermanshah province, Iran. The town is best known for the archaeological remains of a Hellenic-style edifice. Excavation first began in 1968, by which time the "large structure with its great Ionic columns set on a high stone platform" had been associated with a comment by Isidore of Charax, that refers to a "temple of Artemis" (Parthian Stations 6) at Concobar - so the Greek name of Kangavar - in Lower Medea, on the overland trade route between the Levant and India. References to Artemis in Iran are generally interpreted to be references to Anahita, and thus Isidore's "temple of Artemis" came to be understood as a reference to a temple of Anahita.
