Arg-e- Karim khan

Arg-e-Karimkhani
It is the royal palace of Karim khan and other kings of the Zand dynasty (post Islam), one of the most splendid monuments built by clay and brick. In every corner of the palace we find beautiful pieces of plasterwork and glazed tiles, images of Rostam (one of the kind and strongest characters of Shahname) and the White Div (monster) to symbolize resistance, loyalty, generosity and courage.
