Seimareh Historical City is the ruins of a Sassanid (224 – 651 AD) city sprawled over a two-hectare area near Darreh Shar. It is believed that the city was built over the ruins of the Elamite capital Madakto. Excavations at the site have revealed that the city once had 5,000 houses and a functioning sewage system.  Remains of unique stucco reliefs and a Kufic inscription dating back to the early Islamic era have been unearthed at the site. The city is believed to have been destroyed and deserted after a huge earthquake in 950 AD.
