Birjand Citadel

South Khorasan · IRAN DIGITAL WALL

With its white façade and hexagonal form, Kolah Farangi Citadel is one of Birjand’s architectural emblems. Dating from the late Zand and early Qajar periods, its storeys rise in stages towards a distinctive conical crown. Mud, brick, lime and traditional mortar reveal the builders’ command of architecture suited to an arid climate.
