Torbat-e Heydarieh County is 1005 km away from Tehran, and in a mountainous region on the skirt of mountains having different weather in different areas. In the past, this city was called Zaveh. According to a narrative in the 13th century, Sheikh Haydar, a famous Gnostic, was living there. The change of its name from Zaveh to Torbat-e Heydarieh is related to the life and tomb of this great Gnostic. The existing cultural heritage belongs to Sasanian times and the 13th century: Bazeh Hovar and Robat Sefid temple, Ghotb-e-dinn Haydar, Sheikh Haydar, Sheikh Abolghasema, and Shoh Senjan tombs.
