Rudkhan Castle, among the most impregnable fortresses in Iran near Fouman, Gilan.
The construction of this fortress perhaps dates back to the late Sassanid Empire and has history connected to the Iranian liberators.

Dariush the great’s manner towards the Carthaginian opponents
In conquering Carthage, which was a defeated opponent and whose people were ready to accept Darius's terms, instead of extorting money or plundering the city, Dariush the Achaemenid ordered first, eating the meat of dogs among them should be prohibited and second, child sacrifice to their idols should be completely banned.
Their idols were made with its arms stretched out horizontally, and people would place their baby on its forearms and light a fire under it to roast it as a sign of paying tribute.

Neyshabur grand Mosque, located in the wooden village of Neyshabur
Is First wooden mosque, built in 2000. At the point where the minaret connects to the roof, there is a vent that acts like a ventilation channel, removing hot and polluted air from the mosque in the summer and bringing clean air into the mosque through a special wind deflector built into the roof.
Due to the earthquake-prone nature of the Neyshabur region, this mosque can withstand earthquakes of up to 8 on the Richter scale.
