Located
25
km
southwest
of
Fuman
city
north
of
Iran
in
Gilan
province,
it
is
a
military
complex
that
was
constructed
during
the
Sasanian
era
(224-651),
and
later
rebuilt
in
1096
by
the
Nizari
Isma'ilis
for
use
by
the
Assassins.
The
castle
is
built
on
two
tips
of
a
mount,
with
an
area
of
2.6
hectares
(6.4
acres).
Its
architects
made
use
of
natural
mountainous
features
in
the
construction
of
the
fort.
The
Rudkhan
Castle
River
originates
in
the
surrounding
heights
and
flows
from
south
to
north.
After
crossing
a
mountainous
winding
route
with
dense
forests,
the
first
thing
that
one
notices
about
the
castle
is
its
big
entrance
gate.
Rudkhan
Castle
sits
at
the
two
peaks
of
a
mountain
at
elevations
of
715
and
670
meters
and
contains
strong
fortifications
and
battlements
at
a
length
of
1,550
meters.
The
castle's
42
towers
still
stand
intact.
