File:Citadel Karim Kahn Zand 2.jpg

This was a military compound and castle built in 1749 by Karim Khan Zand, the first king of the Zandieh dynasty. It has been abused as a prison, and is now being renovated and turned to museum. Occasionally it hosts music concerts.

Location: Shiraz, Iran (see: History, on that page)

I made this picture in May of 2004 with a Sony DSC-F505V digital camera (1999 technology, 2.8 megapixel), and edited with the GIMP.

There are other files in Wikipedia of this subject:

• Image:Zand citadel wall jpg
• Image:800px-Zand citadel wall1.jpg

Note that the other files are wrong, as those are left-right flipped, and mine is correct. The other pictures are scanned 35-mm slides, that are easy to put on the scanner with the wrong orientation.
