Citadel of Ghurtan

It's located on the bank of the Zayanderud river and has survived natural disasters and many wars for 1,000 years. Having very thick walls made of adobe mud brick made it a protected complex for people living in the region.

The thickness of the walls varies from 3 to 4m and they are about 9m high. The citadel has an area of 40,000 square meters. Nowadays, only four families are living inside. The citadel contains four mosques, a pigeon house, a water reservoir, a mill and many houses. It is protected by fourteen round towers, and you would enter by two gateways.[6]
