Khorramabad

A castle in the highest of the heights.

Khorramabad, located in western Iran, has a rich history dating back centuries. The city, known for its mountainous terrain and the scenic backdrop of the Zagros Mountains, traces its origins to the Sassanian Empire. Khorramabad has many eye-catching attractions. Falak-ol-Aflak Castle, on top of the hills around the city, shows the historical importance of the city (Falak-ol-Aflak means the highest of the heights). I myself believe the castle is one of the most beautiful castles in Iran because its location on top of the hills, vegetation, and geographical location makes it special. There are some other attractions in Khorramabad, like a beautiful lake, a waterfall, and Iran’s Grand Canyon.
