Tabriz Citadel, 14th-century fortress in Tabriz, Iran
The Tabriz Citadel rises 28 meters high and features thick walls constructed from brick and mortar, demonstrating Persian military engineering techniques from ancient times.
Built in 1339 under Ilkhanate rule, the fortress served as both a defensive structure and royal residence through multiple Iranian dynasties including the Qajar period.
The fortress incorporates elements of Ilkhanid and Qajar architectural styles, reflecting the evolution of Persian building traditions across different historical periods.
Visitors can explore the citadel between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with May and June offering the most favorable weather conditions for touring the structure.
During the Constitutional Revolution, the fortress walls provided shelter to revolutionaries Satar Khan and Bagher Khan in their resistance against Mohammad Ali Shah.
