عقاب سوادکوه، دژ ستبر و باشکوه ساسانی بر فراز البرز
Kangelo Castle (Persian: قلعه کنگلو)
is a historical fortress located in Kangelo Village, Savadkuh County, Mazandaran Province, Iran.
Kangelo Castle was built during the
time of the Sassanian Empire.
In the 3rd century AD, a dynasty emerged in Iran that would go on to rule for more than 400 years. The Sassanid Empire spread across the Middle East and its cultural influence reached far across the world, to Western Europe, Africa, and China.
The Sassanid Empire was the last Persian imperial dynasty before the Muslim conquest in the 7th century AD. It was founded in 224 AD by Ardashir Papakan, who rose to power over the declining Parthian State. From the very beginning, he set about expanding his rule and, over the next four centuries, the Sassanid Empire grew to cover all of modern Iran and Iraq from Turkey to Pakistan, as well as parts of the Arabian Peninsula.
The period of Sassanid rule was the longest of any Persian dynasty, lasting until 651 AD, and is considered by historians to be one of the most important. The empire became a major power in the region as it developed a complex government bureaucracy. It built grand monuments and educational facilities, cultural institutions flourished and Zoroastrianism was again embraced as the main religion, although other faiths were often tolerated. Through trade and territorial expansion, the cultural influence of the Sassanid Empire stretched across much of the globe and even shaped some aspects of European and Asian art .
