๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท Alamut Castle: Iranโ€™s Legendary Fortress in Movies and Video Games Alamut Castle was originally built in the ninth century at an elevation over 6,800 feet. It was constructed in such a way that it only had one passable entrance that wound its way around the cliff, making the fortress difficult to conquer. But in 1090 A.D., a man named Hassan-i Sabbah was able to do just that. Hassan was an Ismaili Shia, which was a sect of Islam that faced heavy persecution from the regionโ€™s ruling leader. He rallied supporters as he hid within the valleys of Alamut. Eventually, he and his followers were able to concoct a plan that let them take over the fortress without spilling a single drop of blood (Hassan supposedly even paid the ousted ruler for the site). The fortress became a stronghold for him and his followers, who came to be referred to as his Assassins. They updated the castleโ€™s irrigation and strengthened its defenses. And, perhaps most notably, they built an exquisite library full of literature about astronomy, math, philosophy, and even alchemy. Hassan created his own state, using the other fortresses scattered throughout the remote mountains and valleys as bases. He and his followers did more than just strengthen their strategic hideouts: They were also accomplished killers. The Assassins used their skills against the rulers of the Seljuk Turkish Empire, but their reach soon extended into Syria. It was here that they targeted one of historyโ€™s most famous figures: the Sunni Kurd Sultan Saladin (Salah ad-Din), the future liberator of Jerusalem. The Assassins viewed Saladinโ€™s mission to unify the Islamic world under Sunni rule as a direct threat to their existence. They made two distinct attempts on his life. Beyond their conflict with Saladin, they also turned their attention toward foreign enemies such as the Crusaders. They were meticulous in killing the targeted individual, attempting to do so without any additional casualties. They cultivated their reputation by slaying victims in public, often in mosques. Their weapon of choice is said to have been a dagger. Mongolian invaders conquered the castle in the 13th century. They demolished the fortress and burned most of the rare contents that had been safeguarded in its library.
