Izad-khast Castle
in August 2018 The Izad-Khast Castle is the most important section of the complex. It is unique to Izadkhast and the only comparison to its building materials are found in sites of the Izadkhast region. The works within the castle displays different architectural styles and date back to the Sasanian and Qajar eras. The castle is built on a singular bedrock in a sand construction, close to the valley of Izadkhast. The smallness of the bedrock had led to an increase of castle floors. It also led to an agglomeration of small built rooms. The castle was only accessible from a bridge and a gate built in the most accessible part of the complex. ==Izadkhast Caravanserai==
