History
Gaz-e Borkhar dates back more than two thousand years ago. The texture of the city is old and has been traditionally built, but in recent years there has been changes and the new architectural style has become commonplace. Hamdullah Mostofi writes in the book of Nuzhat al-Qulub: "Bahman bin Esfandiar has built a ten-fireplace." The fireplace seems to have become a mosque after the Arab invasion of Iran and the influence of Islam in the city.
