Anar Castle (Persian: ارگ انار) is a Sassanian castle in Anar, Kerman province, Iran. It is 11,179 square meters large and has 8 towers.[1][2]

History

The castle was built during the Sassanian Empire and was later repaired during the Safavid Empire and used again. [3]

The castle's interior used to contain buildings that sometimes had 3 floors, but these were all demolished in 1981-82 for the reason of them being used by drug addicts as shelter.[4]

It was listed among the national heritage sites of Iran with the number 30343 in February 6, 2011.[5]
