Jalali Castle, Cultural fortress in Kashan, Iran.
The adobe construction of Jalali Castle features walls measuring 4 meters thick and 6 meters high, incorporating defensive towers along its perimeter.
Built in the 11th century by architect Majd ed-Din Abolghassem Kashani, the castle formed part of Kashan's defensive system during the Seljuk period.
The castle represents traditional Persian military architecture with its integration into the city walls and demonstrates the engineering capabilities of medieval Iranian builders.
