Rayen Castle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rayen Castle (Persian: ارگ راين arg -e- rāyen) is an adobe castle in Kerman province, Iran. The well-preserved medieval mudbrick city of Rayen, is similar to the Arg-é Bam city which was destroyed in an earthquake in December 2003. Rayen displays all the architectural elements of a deserted citadel.
Arg-e-Rayen was inhabited until 150 years ago and although believed to be at least 1,000 years old, may in fact have foundations from the pre-Islamic Sassanid era.
