Alamut castle
قلعه الموت
در سفر به شهرهای مختلف ایران، اگر با قلعهای صعبالعبور و دستنیافتنی برخورد کردید، میتوانید حدس بزنید که شاید متعلق به اسماعیلیان باشد. قلعه الموت در استان قزوین به عنوان پایگاه و مرکز فرماندهی اسماعلیان است. دژی که همچون آشیانه عقاب دست نیافتنی است و برفراز کوهی مرتفع که بر دشتی مشرف است.
با عبور از پاي ديوار شرقي قلعه، تالار اصلی نمایان میشود. همانجایی که به باور باستانشناسان، محل پادشاهی حسن صباح در طول اقامتاش در الموت بوده است. در بخش بالايی این تالار، چند اطاق قرار دارند كه سقفشان فرو ريخته است. علاوه بر معماری خاص قلعه، سیستم آبرسانی آن نیز جالب توجه است. سيستم پيچيده آبرساني با لولههای سفالی به قطر ۱۰سانتي متر که آب را از چشمههای اطراف به بالای قلعه میرسانده و سپس در حوضهاي سنگي ذخيره میشده است.
While traveling to different cities of Iran, if you come across an inaccessible, difficult to reach castle, you can guess that it may belong to Ismailis. Alamut castle in Qazvin province was used as a headquarter during the Ismaili era. The Alamut castle is unattainable as an eagle's nest on a high mountain overlooking the plain.
After Crossing the eastern wall of the castle, the main hall appears. According to archaeologists, the castle was the residence of the Hassan Sabah during his stay in Alamut. In the upper part of this hall, there are several rooms which unfortunately their roofs are collapsed. In addition to the special architecture of the castle, its water supply system is also interesting. A complicated 2 cm diameter water supply system with clay pipes that draws water from springs nearby to the top of the castle and then stores the water in the rocky ponds.
