Visiting Rudkhan Castle is not only to see the historical monument, but also other activities are possible to enjoy this area. After reaching the parking lot, you have to walk the rest of the way. At the beginning of the path, you have to cross the paved passage and on both sides of this area there are souvenir shops and local restaurants that will attract you with delicious food, and you can also take souvenir photos in the photography studio next to the restaurants. After this part, you will reach the difficult part where you have to climb a thousand steps. Entrance to the castle To enter Rudkhan Castle, you must enter through the main gate. On both sides of the entrance gate, there are two platforms that are places to rest. After passing through this corridor and passing a few stone steps, you will reach the roof above the gate and you can also go inside the towers of the gate. Towers There are large towers on both sides of the gate. These towers are cylindrical from the outside, but octagonal rooms can be seen inside. The size and shape of these towers are different; But their interior is the same. All the towers have a roof and there were also stoves and chimneys for heating. Shahneshin, the most important building of the castle is Shahneshin, which is located on the highest point of the castle. This building with a very different shape from other castle structures has two lower and upper parts and a terrace. From the terrace you can see your surroundings and enjoy and be amazed. The water reservoir is also located in the deepest part, where the water needed by the castle was supplied in the old days. Of course, after the devastating Gilan earthquake, water did not come to this reservoir until it was restored years later, and today the water needed by the castle and visitors is supplied. #travel #travel #food #streetfood #northern #iran #funny #tehran
