Belqis Citadel

The Belqis Citadel stretches 360 meters in length and 135 meters in width, constructed with adobe and mud at an elevation of 1184 meters.

The citadel underwent two major construction phases, with initial development in the year 900 and subsequent expansion in 1400, incorporating Abbasid and Safavid architectural elements.

The structure represents three distinct architectural periods - Abbasid, Ilkhanid, and Safavid - reflecting the evolution of Persian building techniques through centuries.

Visitors can access the citadel through dedicated pathways from the Azari Rural District, with parking facilities and information points available near the entrance.

The citadel walls contain specific architectural elements from multiple Persian dynasties, preserved in their original adobe and mud construction materials.
