라이엔 성은 케만주 남쪽 4500m 높이의 Haraz 산의 자락에 있는 1000여 년 역사를 지닌 고성으로 150년 전까지 주민이 거주하던 곳이다. Rayen성도 Arge Bam과 같이 흙벽돌(Adobe)로 건축된 중세의 성으로 지진, 등 자연재해로 여러 번 파괴되었으나 그때마다 잘 보수하여 건물들이 그런 데로 보존되고 있다. Rayen은 고대부터 직물교역의 중심지이었으며 또한, 검과 칼의 제조, 후에는 총기 제조로 명성이 높았던 도시이다.

Arge e Rayen- Iran
I wanted to visit Arg-é Bam on my trip along the Silk Route in Iran, but went to Rayen castle instead. When i saw a picture of Arg-e Bam I knew I would go there no matter what. To my regret the horrible earthquake of 2003 ruined it completely and many people told me that there is nothing left to see besides piles of rubble and few ruined walls (below the Bam castle before and after the earthquake).
The medieval mud brick city of Rayen is similar to the Agr-e Bam but smaller in size. It is extremely well preserved, despite numerous natural disasters that have destroyed similar structures nearby, and it is one of the most interesting sites in Iran.
Arg-e Rayen was inhabited until 150 years ago and, although believed to be at least 1,000 years old, may in fact have foundations from the pre-Islamic Sassanid era.
The outer walls of the castle enclose the main governor’s citadel, houses and other structures around the latter.
Most of the houses are dilapidated and just few still stand but you can easily imagine how the city looked in the past. Especially with some of the continuing restoration that was/is going on.
Remaining walls and buildings were freshly covered with hay-mud mix in the course of reconstruction and you can see in one of the frames i took where this has been done, even the hay is still on the ground ready for mixing!
The castle is quite small and you will need much time to walk around. The most interesting part is the governor’s citadel. It has a square shape and many buildings on its territory, which include a governor’s bedroom, his office, rooms for official ceremonies and guests
The whole area of the citadel is covered with a roof, with several staircases leading to up. The citadel includes several yards similar to traditional Iranian houses which have square form and no roof above them for access of light to rooms facing these yards. We climbed up the roof and the walls and walked around the citadel. From up there you can see all around the castle and will have a better view of the houses surrounding the citadel.
The yards, rooms and other structures in the citadel are freshly renovated. You can see that some more lights will be installed soon here and there. A big hall looks like a kitchen and there may be a restaurant in the near future. Besides that all the spaces are completely empty.

Il Castello di Rayen - The beautiful Castle in Persia.
Uno dei posti che ho visitato quando ero in viaggio in Iran è questo meraviglioso castello.
Il Castello di Rayen (in persiano ارگ راين, Arg-é Rāyen) è un castello di adobe nella provincia di Kerman, in Iran. Questa città medievale in mattoni di fango è simile alla vicina Arg-é Bam.Rayen mostra tutti gli elementi architettonici di una cittadella del deserto.Arg-é Rayen fu abitata fino a 150 anni fa e, sebbene si ritenga antica di almeno 1.000 anni, potrebbe in realtà avere fondamenta risalenti all'era preislamica sasanide.
One of the places I visited when I was traveling in Iran is this wonderful castle.

IRAN Bam Citadel
am[1] (Persian: بم) is a city in and the capital of Bam County, Kerman Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 73,823, in 19,572 families.[2]
The modern Iranian city of Bam surrounds the Bam citadel. Before the 2003 earthquake the official population count of the city was roughly 43,000.[3] There are various opinions about the date and reasons for the foundation of the citadel. Some people believe[who?] that Bam city was founded during the Parthian Empire. Economically and commercially, Bam occupied a very important place in the region and was famed for its textiles and clothes. Ibn Hawqal (943–977), the Arab traveller and geographer, wrote of Bam in his book Surat-ul-`ard (The Earth-figure)
