The sprawling town has one specialist attraction, the Bandiyan Archaeological Site , where unusually well-preserved stucco mouldings in white gypsum depict faces and floral patterns on wall and column stumps. Experts believe it was once a particularly fine Sassanian fire-temple complex. Covered with corrugated sheet-roofing, the three adjacent dig sites sit in a cornfield 2km west of Dargaz’s northern edge. Annoyingly the caretaker won’t let visitors in without permission-letters from Dargaz’s Miras Ferhangi .
