Historical Summary--Core Data Index Metadata
The city wall dates back to the construction of the Citadel. The original city wall of the larger city is situated in the northern part of the Citadel. The current city wall may be from the period when the larger city shrank to the current Citadel.
After the 2003 earthquake, older layers of the city wall (probably Sassanid (226-651 AD) period) became evident (Mehryar, 1383 Hijri Shamsi (solar))
