Wonderful & Amazing

Ruins of an old castle in shushtar. On really cute and green hills! I absolutely love this place. If you go there in the winter and not on holidays or weekends, most likely you're gonna be the only people there. Which is really nice. Apart from the historical aspect of it and the remarkable tunnels underneath, this is a place to relax, enjoy the sound of birds and the view.
There's also some smartly placed benches there. Enjoy them;)

this castle is amazing not only because of it's great view and structure beside the Karun river but also because of the water system under the land that it has been built on it. visit it

Salasel Fortress which is located in Khuzestan Province and in Shustar City, is very old.Some people believe that because of Dariun ditch, this castel dates back to Achaemenian time and otheres believe that it was built in Sassanied era.
There are a lot of rooms in this citadel for soldiers, Khuzestan governer, bathrooms, kitchen and so on...
Because of hot and humid climate in this province, there is a channel under this fortress for summers and it was one of the protection ways against enemies.

i just love everything in shooshtar as you can go underground and see how the buildings are connected together

There is almost nothing to see, just a ruin in really very bad condition. It seems, that nobody maintain or renovate it in last 10 years. Not worth of going.
