Qal'eh Dokhtar, Ferdows
For other places with similar names, see
South Khorasan Province, Iran. The fortress was used by the Nizari Ismailis of the Alamut period.[1]
It was connected to the nearby major stronghold of
Ghal'eh Kuh of Ferdows and to the city of Tun itself via secret subterranean passages discovered after the 1968 Dasht-e Bayaz and Ferdows earthquakes.[2][3]
The fortifications of Tun were destroyed in May 1256 by the invading Mongols under Kitbuqa and Köke Ilgei.[4][5]
