The geographical location of Iran and its location between the East and the West, which were considered as a highway for these areas, led to many visits and arrivals. This was the reason why Iran was attacked many times during history. Constructing the castles to evade attackers was a creative idea that Iranian architects took on the orders of the rulers to save their city and their people in the comfort and prosperity of life. All over Iran, historic and ancient castles of old times have survived for us. Damghan is one of the historical cities of Semnan province and has many historical and natural monuments. Dolatabad village is located near Semnan to Tehran road and in 18 km west of Damghan. In the western part of the village, Dolatabad Castle has survived from the Qajar era or even the early Islamic centuries. The entrance to Dolatabad Castle with its large wooden door fascinates every visitor's eyes with its magnificence. Dolatabad Castle in Damghan consists of two parts of the outer and inner walls, which nowadays many parts of the Castle are destroyed due to natural disasters and accidents. The interior part consists of adobe houses and Shahneshin, having two floors is common between all of these houses. Because Dolatabad Castle in Damghan is located in the desert area, it was also considered as the windpipe for the castle that its effects and the towers are well visible right now. On the south side of the castle, you will encounter a view of the brick made houses and beyond them, the Alborz Mountains. The pistachio gardens and agricultural fields add to the beauty of the region around the castle. Do not forget to buy Pistachios on your trip to Damghan.
