Nush-i Jan

Also known as Tepe Nush-i Jan

Nush-i Jan (Tepe Nush-i Jan) is an archaeological site in western Iran, near Malayer in Hamadan Province, excavated by a British team under David Stronach from 1967. It preserves a fortified Median complex of the eighth and seventh centuries BCE with a fire temple, a fort and a columned hall. With Godin Tepe it is one of the main sources for Median architecture.
