This citadel town was inhabited from the third century to the late 19th century. The 2003 Earthquake in Bam destroyed more than 80 percent of the Citadel.
Reviewed By junojules - Braunschweig, Germany
I heard that Lonely Planet somehow excluded this place from the book and now some people even do not know this ruin but when you visit the south area of Iran, this place is one of the MUST-VISIT place. I do not know how it was like before the big earthquake destroyed here but even after the earthquake, it is magnificent to walk round the old city.. nostalsic and romantic. Especially if you go close to sunset you can havea beautiful castle, houses, ruins with dramatic shades of the sun! My recommendation is visit there after a bit long lunch, arriving around 3 or 4 in the afternoon.

It took one hour and half from Qazvin to Alamut. The road itself is beautiful with mountain scenaries. It takes 20 minutes to step up thr stairs and you are supposed to buy ticket. The view of ghazor khan village and horizon from the summit is perfect. You must know that it is not the only point in alamut if you have thr plan to go there. My guide took me to some amazing lesser known places in alamut. Not bad to contact him if you are going to have a trip to alamut. He is helpful to travekets and speaks fluent english: [email protected]
