Historical sites
- Zavareh Grand Mosque: An inscription in the entrance stucco dates this Seljuk-era mosque to 1135–1136, making it the first known dated mosque constructed according to a four-portico (iwan) plan in the post-Islamic Iran.
- Pa Minar Mosque: The minaret of this mosque bears a Kufic inscription in brick, dating it to 1068–1069. This makes it the second oldest dated minaret in Iran, the oldest being at Saveh. The minaret makes part of a Seljuk mosque, which has been restored during the Il-Khanid period.
- Zavareh's Kariz Qanat: This qanat dates back to 5000 year ago, a network of underground canals that delivers water from distant resources.
