Summary

Description

العربية: منظرٌ عام لِبم ومشهدها الثقافي، أو قلعة بم، وهي أكبر بناءٍ طوبي في العالم وإحدى مواقع التُراث العالميَّة. تقع هذه القلعة في مدينة بم بِمُحافظة كرمان، جنوب شرق إيران. تعود هذه القلعة الواقعة على طريق الحرير إلى العصر الأخميني (ما بين القرنين السادس والرابع ق.م.) وقد تعود إلى ما قبل ذلك. تدمَّرت هذه القلعة جرَّاء الزلزال الذي ضرب المنطقة سنة 2003م وأدَّى إلى مقتل أكثر من 26,000 نسمة، وقد رُممت مُنذُ تلك الفترة.

English: General view of Arg-e Bam, or, Bam Citadel, the largest adobe building in the world and an UNESCO world heritage site, located in Bam, Kerman Province, southeastern Iran. The origin of this enormous citadel on the Silk Road can be traced back to the Achaemenid Empire (6th-4th centuries BC) and even beyond. The citadel was destroyed by the devastating 2003 Bam earthquake that cost over 26,000 lives and is being reconstructed since then.
