It can be seen that the area around the temple and the temple itself have recently been restored. Quite interesting, detailed poster materials in English and Azerbaijani, telling about the history of the place.
The ticket office is located near souvenir shops under an inconspicuous sign, it can be difficult to find it.
The Ateshgah Temple together with Yanardag Mountain (although they are quite far from each other) are part of the same museum complex, so it is possible to buy a comprehensive ticket to visit two attractions, which will be cheaper than visiting places separately

The architectural complex is a hexagonal plan with a crenellated outer wall and an entrance portal, in the center of the courtyard of which stands the quadrangular main temple — altar, which was a place of pilgrimage for fire worshippers.
Some rooms have expositions about the development of Zoroastrianism.
