Qaleh-ye Sadri is a historical fortress located on the outskirts of Qom, Iran. Built from mud-brick, it features high walls and circular towers typical of traditional Iranian fortifications. Visitors can explore the remaining structures, including gateways and interior courtyards, and imagine life within its walls. The site is distinctive for its well-preserved rural setting, contrasting with the urban religious center of Qom. A visit offers a quiet, off-the-beaten-path experience of Iran's pre-modern military and residential architecture.
