The Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts has released a video of the historic Shaabjera Castle in the city of Zarend in Kerman Province. This 500-year-old building is one of the remains of the Safavid period and an example of the security architecture of that period.
The old castle of Shabara is located in the village of Shabara, one of the posts of Yazdanabad District in the city of Zarand. The fort has four towers, high walls and a moat, which was probably dug to protect against an enemy attack.
In this village there is another historical castle called New Castle, which is smaller and has no moat, but its towers and firing positions testify to the defensive use of this structure.
The exact age of the village of Shabjar is unknown, but the existence of old graves indicates the possibility of settlement in this area before the Sephardic period. Brick houses and narrow alleys are also features of the historical context of the village.
The old castle of Shabjarra was registered in the list of national monuments of Iran on March 27, 2007 with the number 26,259.
