To my knowledge, this was a holy Zoroastrian site constructed during the Sassani Dynasty. How did it come be assosiated with a Judao-Islamic name such as SOLEYMAN?
Well Idont know exactly about this place. But we have other places in Iran having the same story. Sometimes it's because the area is suspected to have lots of treasure. Sometimes it's been called that way so that Arabs would leave it alone due to their respect to Solomon, and most times they did. Like in Cyrus the great's thumb. And some times it was because the place was mysterious for the locals. Loke Narges spring and Zendan-e-Soleyman in Pasargad. This is what I know about this.
