Katale Khor.

Katale khor (Persian: کتله‌خور,Azerbaijani: كتل كوتول) is a cave located in Zanjan Province, Iran. It is situated at 120 km south of Zanjan city and 410 km away from Tehran. The name, Katale khor, means "mount of Sun".[1] Geological studies in 1984 showed [who?] that the cave formation dates back to the Jurassic period. It is believed that the cave joins to Ali Sadr Cave in Hamadan province.[1]

This cave was discovered about 90 years ago but it was registered by Ahmad Jamali.[2]
