Gerdkuh Castle

Gerdkuh was a castle of the Nizari Isma'ili state located near in the region of Qumis. Gerdkuh is a "fortified mountain"—a high vertical rock of 300 m in height with buildings on its summit and fortifications at its sides, defended by a triple ring of fortifications at its foot, making the citadel impregnable to direct military assault.
