Takhte Soleyman or Takht-e Suleyman (Persian: تخت سلیمان) is a mountain in the Takht-e Suleyman Massif, Alborz mountain range, north of Iran.[1] In Persian language, Takhte Soleyman means Solomon's Throne (seat).
In August 1931, the British explorer Freya Stark attempted to reach the summit of Takht-i-Suleiman, and documented her travels in 'The Valleys of the Assassins and other Persian Travels'.[2]
