Underground tunnels, One of the most interesting points of Narin Castle architecture
One of the most interesting points of the defense architecture of the Narin Castle is the underground tunnels that the entrances of these tunnels can be seen in different places. Locals believe that most of these tunnels were built during the Al-Muzaffar period and the Timurid invasion of Iran, and even one of the tallest tunnels, more than three kilometers long, connects Narin Castle to one of the mills outside the city. These tunnels are so large and high that a camel with his burden could pass through them. Currently, the main routes of the underground tunnels have been repaired and it is possible to visit them.
