Sib Castle, located in Sib and Suran County in Sistan and Balochistan province, Iran, stands 22.5 meters high and represents a significant example of Afsharid and Qajar architectural traditions. Constructed from palm wood, adobe, mud, and stone—materials suited to the region's climate and resources—the castle bears witness to centuries of successive rule by the Hoth, Buledi, Dagarani Rind, Gichki, and Mirmoradzai peoples. Designated as Iranian National Heritage, the fortress remains a key attraction in the county, embodying the architectural and cultural legacy of its diverse historical rulers.
