History
Baladeh castle
Baladeh castle is one of the important fortress among the other castles in Mazandaran province. The castle was established even in the early Safavid era. It was made on top of the mount and can be seen from the city. After the defeat of the Paduspani dynasty, the Safavids seized the castle.[9] It was in use as recently as the 18th century although its origins go back at least to 700 C.E.[9]
