Four historic venues in Zohan District of Qaen in South Khorasan province have been registered on the National Heritage List, Zohan district governor said, IRNA reported.
Amir Reza Zarei mentioned Zardab Castle, historical dams of Sardavan and Fakhran villages and the castle on Afin Mount as the newly-inscribed sites.

He is hopeful that the move would help revive the ancient sites and give a boost to local rural tourism.

“This will help generate jobs, preventing further migration of unemployed rural dwellers to urban areas.“

He added that Zohan boasts many cultural heritage sites, a lot of which have remained unidentified.
