The fortress of nedir shah
About 22km to the south of Kahka region there is a fortress of the great ruler of Nedir Shah. The fortress was built by the order of Nedir-Shah himself in the 18th century. It was built in rectangular form with the walls reaching to one thousand meters at length and the height up 3m and surrounded by water channels. There are 12 round orifices in every corner of the walls which were once used for protection. The southern walls of this historical fortress were damaged by inundation but other walls have been preserved upon till now. On the northern corner of the fortress one can see a hill with the height of 10m and 20m in diameter. Whole fortress and its surroundings can be seen from this hill. There are ruins of the palace in the inner part of the fortress. The fortress gives a beautiful view to Kopet Dag Mountains.
