Nahāvand Castle (Persian:قلعه نهاوند) was an ancient castle fromSasanian Persia that was located in what is now the city ofNahavand inHamedan province,Iran. The fall of this castle in theBattle of Nahavand was a major turning point in theIslamic conquest of Persia. Nonetheless, the castle survived up until the time ofNaser al-Din Shah Qajar. It was said[by whom?] that when digging aqanat, Naser al-Din Shah found a treasure. He then ordered the castle to be destroyed in order to find more treasures; however, no more were found.[1][better source needed]
