Abruwan

Abruwan was a Sasanian-era village located in the rural district of Dasht-e Barin in the administrative division of Ardashir-Khwarrah, in southwestern Pars. It may be identical with its namesake, the coastal town of Abruwan, which notably suffered from the Arab raids during the early reign of Shapur II ((r. 309 – 370)). Abruwan is notable for being the birthplace of Mihr-Narseh, the minister (wuzurg framadar) of the Sasanian monarchs Yazdegerd I ((r. 399 – 420)), Bahram V ((r. 420 – 438)), Yazdegerd II ((r. 438 – 457)) and Peroz I ((r. 457 – 484)). There Mihr-Narseh had several buildings, including fire temples, constructed. One of the fire temples was named Mihr-Narsiyan, and was still kindled by the 11th-century. He also founded four villages in the neighbourhood of Abruwan, where fire temples were constructed along each palm, olive and cypress garden. These foundations served as the hereditary property of Mihr-Narseh descendants until the 11th-century.

The location of Abruwan is uncertain, it is presumed to be situated between Firuzabad and Tawwaj.
