There are a large number of castles and citadels in Iran, for example look at this one which is said to be built in the Sassanid period and was inhabited until 150 years ago: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayen_Castle
 
 
Rayn Citadel in Kerman
 
It has all characteristics of a medieval Persian city, there are residental houses, stores, bazaar, military units, squares, fortress, religious buildings, Zurkhaneh (traditional Persian gymnasium), stables, schools, ... It also consists of the public quarter and the aristocratic zone.

Great photo's! Thanks!

"Bouillon, Belgium. The castle of Godfried of Bouillon, leader of the first crusade (1099)
ruler of the kingdom of Jeruzalem"

Concerning Godfried, I think everyone shoud take the time to read about him and his acts! Certainly one of the best stories ever told!
