联合国教科文组织第48届世界遗产委员会于2026年7月26日宣布，阿拉穆特城堡及全域防御工事正式列入《世界遗产名录》[1]。这座坐落于伊朗加兹温省东北部厄尔布尔士山脉的古代要塞，海拔2163米，比周围地面高约200米，是一处具有重要军事和文化意义的古代防御设施[1]。
"阿拉穆特"意为"鹰的巢穴"，该城堡是连接伊朗高原与里海沿岸地区的战略咽喉[1]。城堡东北侧拥有唯一通行入口，为一条沿悬崖边缘蜿蜒而上的狭窄小路[1]。在建筑设计上，城堡因地制宜地利用天然岩壁和地质结构，充分体现了古代波斯工匠的建筑智慧[1]。体现了伊朗千年多元文明的沉淀[1]。
On July 26, 2026, the 48th session of UNESCO's World Heritage Committee officially designated Alamut Castle and its surrounding defensive structures as a World Heritage Site [1]. Located in the northeastern Qazvin Province of Iran at the western end of the Alborz mountain range, the fortress stands at an elevation of 2,163 meters, approximately 200 meters above the surrounding terrain [1]. The castle's name, meaning "Eagle's Nest," reflects its strategic position as a crucial gateway connecting the Iranian plateau with the Caspian Sea coastal regions [1].
The fortress exemplifies ancient Persian architectural ingenuity through its adaptive use of natural rock formations and geological features in its construction [1]. Access to the castle is gained via a single narrow pathway that winds along the cliff's northeastern edge [1]. As a militarily and culturally significant ancient stronghold, Alamut Castle represents both the architectural wisdom of classical Persian craftsmen and the multilayered heritage accumulated through Iran's thousand years of diverse civilization [1].
