Rostam Castle, Medieval castle in Hamun County, Iran
Rostam Castle stands with fourteen watchtowers and a grand entrance gateway, featuring defensive structures and residential quarters within its fortified walls.
The castle reached its zenith during the Kiani rule in the Safavid period, serving as a military stronghold and administrative center.
The name of the castle connects to Rostam, a central figure in Persian mythology and literature from the Sistan region.
Located 70 kilometers along the Zabol-Zahedan Road, the castle remains open for visitors interested in exploring medieval Persian fortifications.
The structure contains remnants of enameled pottery that indicate sustained human activity, though no formal archaeological excavations have taken place.
