Harireh

Some say Harireh was first built sometime between the late Sasanid period and the early Islamic era.

An Iranian cultural heritage organization has verified that Harireh is at least 800 years old.

[citation needed] Harireh is most probably the town that the renowned Iranian poet, Saadi, has referred to in his book Gulistan.

There are references in the works of Iranian and Arab historians to the location of the town on the island.

These say that the town was situated in the middle of the northern part, precisely where the ruins are standing today.
