During the coherent archaeological excavations in the historical site of Qara-Haslanlu Namin, a lot of rich cultural findings and valuable documents were identified, which can play an important role in the detailed analysis and investigation of this site. Along with other finds of pottery, bones, burials and metal and gold objects related, a huge adobe structure had been identified with its interesting architecture in the center of the hill, which is the only architectural phase in this area; its importance has increased more than before. This landmark architectural work is built squarely and entirely with stone and clay, so that it is surrounded by successive supports. The upcoming research has identified and fully introduced the adobe structure in a descriptive-analytical way based on field studies and library documents. The most important questions raised in this research were included: What are the architectural features of this huge adobe structure and which historical period did it belong to? And what was the purpose and use of this structure? The conducted studies show that the huge adobe structure or adobe platform with an approximate area of 833 square meters, except for the three lower stone ridges which are used only on the outer sides of the building, is completely covered with adobe. This structure is comparable and continues the platform-building tradition of Iron Age II and III and probably has a ritual use. However, it should be mentioned that the presence of Iron Age pottery in the context of bricks indicates the older establishment of the area in the Iron Age and the construction of its existing clay platform during the following periods. Finally, it can be said that considering the presence of most of the pottery data of the Qara-Hasanlu area, 90% of which belong to the Parthian era, the relative chronology of this huge structure to the Parthian era is not far from the mind.
