Lambsar Castle, Mountain fortress in Qazvin Province, Iran
The stone fortress extends 480 meters in length with a height difference of 150 meters between multiple defensive levels along the mountain ridge point.
Kiya Buzurg Ummid captured and transformed this stronghold in 1138 under Hassan-i Sabbah's direction, establishing it as a central Ismaili defensive position.
The castle incorporates elements of Sasanian architecture with intricate stone cutting techniques visible in the remaining 1.2-meter thick defensive walls.
Visitors access the castle through the north and south fronts, as deep valleys on the east and west sides create natural barriers to entry.
The fortress contains an advanced water management system with multiple reservoirs carved into rock, supporting extended periods of independence during sieges.
