This 2,200 years old castle is located 148 Km from Tabriz at about 3,000 meters above sea level. Surrounding the castle are valleys and only access to this structure is through a narrow track. It was from this unconquerable castle that Babak Khorram Din and his followers fought against the Arabs for 22 years. Historical evidences show that this castle was the center of rule in the 6th and 7th century, of the territory.
