Khavidak Castle is one of Iran’s tourist attractions at the heart of desert. The ancient castle has been built with local raw materials based on traditional architectural methods.
In the past, villagers would take shelter in the castle, which dates back to the Sassanid era (224 AD to 651 AD), to protect themselves against attacks by bandits.
