The historical village of Marin with a mild climate and scenic and spectacular places is one of the popular and attractive districts of Iran. The royal path of Shush to Takht-e Jamshid (Persepolis) and Bishapour (in the Achaemenid era) passed from the 7 kilometer distance of this village. The strategic position of Marin village in the Achaemenid, Parthians, and Sassanid eras has caused the construction several road watch fortresses in its sphere of influence.
