Furg, village home to historical Citadel

Let’s take a walk in Iran’s history through Furg village and citadel in South Khorasan Province.

On the skirt of Momenabad mount, a village is home to Furg Citadel like a crown on its head.

The rural area, a summer resort in South Khorasan Province, enjoys cold weather and invites those who enjoy the mountainous weather.

The ancient citadel has served as an impenetrable fortress for the followers of Isma’ilism in their resistance against the Abbasid Caliphate.

The Furg Citadel or Mirza Rafi Khan Castle is registered among Iran’s national heritage sites.
