| 説明 | HORMOZGAN GATHERING, DAY 4:This is the western watchtower of the Portuguese castle the artillery is the as what I shoot from inside the tower here. Check the map and zoom to highest level to find the exact location.The Portuguese castle in Hormoz island is one of the greatest monuments near BandarAbbas.It was built in 1507 on order of admiral Alfonso Albokurk, Portuguese commander of the region. They built the castle using local people as slaves and the building process lasted 30 years.As you can see on geotagged map (zoom to highest level), the castle is built at furthermost point of northern cape of Hormoz island - the most strategic location of the region, to guarantee the Portuguese rulership of the strait and BandarAbbas port.The castle includes a large sweet water reservoir (the most in need part at such hot weather and salty water!), some depots, lots of barracks with arc shaped roofs, a big prison including some nested rooms, a very beautiful church built of corals, some great hall, a bunch of forts, and a luxe commander seat.Finally this castle conquered and captured by Iranian soldiers under commandment of Imam Gholi Khan in 1622, in Safavid era. This shot is related to my day by day itinerary of our journey to Hormozgan, during 7th Iranian Flickr Gathering: Hormozgan.Wait for more photos of each day of journey at upcoming near future ;) |
