Meybod, Iran
N/A
The ruins of the structure stands 40 meters (130 ft) high from its base. Although built some 2,000 years ago, it contains what seems to be a type of plumbing system (made out of a kind of mortar called sarooj) which was built into its massive walls. It is also peculiarly similar in design to Ali Qapu palace of Isfahan; it has a terrace high on top of the structure whose circulation is provided by two helical stairwells (whose walls have caved in, making it inaccessible). The structure also has a large underground chamber (filled now by rubble), possibly a prison. Four towers surround the entire compound, and a large gate furnishes access to a large courtyard. The structure seems to have been the victim of numerous earthquakes throughout the ages. Some believe that the Narin castles are descendants of ancient fire-temples; some of the castles in Narin and Meybod, in Yazd province, are also called nareng castles (orange castles), possibly by folk etymology. The castle at Meybod is currently under study. Yet this castle has not been faring very well. This building has been built as an old fortress with 3 different floors, each for a different class of society. Although all outer gates have been destroyed the inner castle still exists. You can still see some of the outer walls. The Naryn Castle (In Persian: نارین قلعه) or Narin Castle is a mud-brick fort or castle in the town of Meybod, Iran. Structures like these constituted the government stronghold in some of the older (pre-Islamic) towns of central Iran. Some of these castles incorporate mud bricks of the Medes period and of the Achaemenid and Sassanid dynasties.

It is one of the most important historical monuments of Meybod. You can imagine yourself in the stories of 1001 Nights by traveling to Meybod and Yazd.
One of the oldest castle of Iran date back to thousand years ago. The nice shape of the citadel is destroyed but it’s still the huge construction of the castle remain. It’s one of the attention of Yazd province located in Meybod town. Most of travelers visit this castle as it’s on the way between Esfahan and Yazd.
One of the oldest castles in Iran is Narin Castle. It is about 6,000 years old. It's got several floors. From the roof you'll have avast view of the city of Meybod. Meybod and its gardens, water reservoirs and ice reservoirs, located at the edge of the desert, shows how ancient Iranians could manage to save and use water for agriculture, daily use and drinking in all hot and cold seasons.
Narin Castle is a mud-brick castle. You can see any amazing view over the city.
Interesting castle with really nice view to the old city, cost 150 000 rials.
Couldn't believe that we might have such a wonderful place. It's greatness shocked me and I loved it so much. You will have a great view of 360 degrees of Meybod on the roof. They even care about the earth hour and have a ceremony the day we were there. Don't miss this place.
This ancient castle is for 4000 years B.C. At the top of the castle you can have a great view of the whole city with historical places around... I suggest you to visit it in the evening
