Bam Citadel (Arg), Kerman
*from Ingrid of Iran
Bam is a city in Kerman Province of Iran. The city is the center of Bam County. 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.[1] There are various opinions about the date and reasons for the foundation of the citadel. Some people believe that Bam city was founded during the Parthian empire, a very powerful Persian empire, that ruled from 250 BCE to 226 CE. Economically and commercially, Bam occupied a very important place in the region and was famed for its textiles and clothes.
Bam is a World Heritage Place in danger..
On December 26, 2003 at 5:26 AM local time(1:56 AM UTC) Bam Citadel — "the biggest adobe structure of the world" — and most of the city of Bam proper were devastated by an earthquake. United States Geological Survey estimated its magnitude as 6.6 on the Richter scale.[2] The BBC reported that "70% of the modern city of Bam" was destroyed.[3] Death toll numbers as high as 80,000 were rumoured on the street .
