An underground Mithraeum, which is a temple for the worshippers of the ancient religion of Mithras, and a place for the temple visitors to stay in was one of the key structures discovered in the site.
Many other archeological remains were also found during the excavation, such as a 12 to 15-meter-high remnant of a city wall, a 21-meter-high observation and defensive tower, cisterns, houses, churches, silos, arsenals, rock tombs, irrigation canals, secret passages, and a shelter with a capacity of 400 people.
Efforts to include Zerzevan Castle in the UNESCO World Heritage List are being conducted in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Ministry of Industry and Technology's General Directorate of Development Agencies, and the Excavation Directorate.
Once the file is complete, an application will be submitted in October for Zerzevan Castle to be included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
