Abrandabad Castle

🧭What kind of place is it?

Time has badly damaged the inside of the castle. It is now an empty enclosure with the castle walls still standing around it, so don't expect intact rooms or a complete interior.

🕰️When was it built?

The castle is attributed to the Sasanian period, and its heritage listing also mentions later, Islamic-era periods. The exact year of construction, and when each part changed, are not known.

👀What you will see

• The surviving walls mark out the area of the castle.
• The empty interior is the result of the inner parts of the building being destroyed.

💡Something interesting

The castle was added to Iran's National Heritage List on 29 September 2002 as number 6318. That listing date is, of course, far later than the Sasanian age attributed to the building.
