The ancient Sassanid Citadel of Narin Ghaleh, which people once fled to in order to escape the invading Mongol hordes, is sadly now crumbling away. It was originally built around 2,000 years ago. The fortifications reach a height of 40 metres. There are defensive towers at each of the four corners of the fort.
Inside is an underground chamber which may have once been used as a prison, but it could equally well have been where the defenders went to escape from the intense heat above ground. One innovative feature is the ancient plumbing system built into the Citadel's massive walls.
