This site gained prominence as the supposed sanctuary of Hassan-i-Sabah on the stories about him and his band of Nizari Ismaili Shiite Hashshashin during the 11th and 12th centuries.
The Alamut Fortress, strategically positioned in the mountainous terrain, became the headquarters for the Nizari Ismaili Shiite community during the medieval period.
Established by Hassan-i-Sabah, a charismatic leader, the fortress housed a secretive community known for its unorthodox methods of warfare.
Legends and stories about the Hashshashin's activities and their alleged training in the idyllic garden circulated throughout the Islamic world.
Nonetheless, the concept of this legendary garden within the Alamut fortress continues to capture the imagination, representing an intriguing chapter in Persian history and the medieval Islamic world.
