A stunning, powerful place is the sanctuary of ancient fire. Behind the walls there is a pentagonal courtyard, inside the walls there are cells, a caravanserai and other rooms for various purposes, and the altar itself, where the eternal flame burns, which is supported by natural gas by human hands)). A very interesting history of the temple and religion, wax figures and ancient life, in one of the halls the mantra Om is heard from the speakers. Hire a tour guide on the spot, it's inexpensive, and tells a fascinating story about this place - you won't regret it! Definitely worth a visit.

An interesting unusual museum. Small diverse expositions in each "room" in the walls of the temple, which were gradually built over a very long time, as can be found at one of these expositions.

It can be seen that the area around the temple and the temple itself have recently been restored. Quite interesting, detailed poster materials in English and Azerbaijani, telling about the history of the place.
The ticket office is located near souvenir shops under an inconspicuous sign, it can be difficult to find it.
The Ateshgah Temple together with Yanardag Mountain (although they are quite far from each other) are part of the same museum complex, so it is possible to buy a comprehensive ticket to visit two attractions, which will be cheaper than visiting places separately
