He emphasized that Alamut\u2019s inscription offers an opportunity to present this heritage to the world through an Iranian perspective, drawing on history, knowledge, and research.<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"post-text wp-block-paragraph\">The specialized meeting \u201cThe Strategic Heritage of Alamut Castle\u201d was held at the National Museum of Iran on Monday evening, August 17, 2026, to mark the inscription of \u201cAlamut Castle and Its Associated Fortifications\u201d as Iran\u2019s 30th tangible cultural heritage property on the UNESCO World Heritage List.&#13;\n&#13;\nAt the meeting, Dr. Hassan Fartousi, Secretary-General of Iran\u2019s National Commission for UNESCO, joined a group of officials and experts in the field of cultural heritage to examine the historical, cultural, and strategic dimensions of the complex.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Alamut\u2019s World Heritage Inscription: The Result of Synergy Across Iranian Culture<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"post-text wp-block-paragraph\">Fartousi congratulated the team on the inscription of \u201cAlamut Castle and Its Associated Fortifications\u201d on the UNESCO World Heritage List, describing this achievement as the result of collective efforts, coordination, and the mobilization of researchers\u2019 and specialists\u2019 expertise. He stated that the name and standing of Iranian culture constitute a significant foundation for Iran\u2019s nominations on the international stage.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"post-text wp-block-paragraph\">He added that whenever Iran\u2019s name is mentioned at UNESCO, the country\u2019s rich cultural and civilizational heritage comes into focus. This potential can play an important role in appropriately presenting Iran\u2019s historical sites on the international stage.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"post-text wp-block-paragraph\">Referring to the reaction of a UNESCO official following the inscription of Alamut on the World Heritage List, the Secretary-General of Iran\u2019s National Commission for UNESCO said: \u201cOne of the most memorable remarks about Iran was that Iran does not simply have cultural heritage; it has a cultural treasure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Alamut: More Than a Historic Fortress<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"post-text wp-block-paragraph\">Emphasizing the need for a multifaceted understanding of Alamut, Fartousi stated: \u201cThis complex should not be viewed merely as a defensive heritage site. Rather, geography, governance, resource management, knowledge, and culture are interconnected within a single historical system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"post-text wp-block-paragraph\">Referring to water management and agriculture in Alamut, he said: \u201cThe experience of resource management in this region demonstrates that its inhabitants were able to meet their needs through a thorough understanding of their environment and to remain resilient in the face of geographical constraints.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"post-text wp-block-paragraph\">He also highlighted the place of books and knowledge in Alamut\u2019s historical structure, adding: \u201cThe presence of libraries and centers dedicated to book reproduction within the fortresses is another indication that Alamut cannot be studied solely within the framework of military and defensive architecture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"post-text wp-block-paragraph\">The Secretary-General of Iran\u2019s National Commission for UNESCO described a scholarly and cultural narrative of Alamut as one of the most important priorities following its inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List, emphasizing: \u201cWorld Heritage inscription is not the end of the journey; rather, it is an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of this heritage and present it to the world in a manner befitting its significance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"post-text wp-block-paragraph\">Fartousi said: \u201cDrawing on historical sources, scholarly research, and an Iranian perspective, we must explain Alamut\u2019s place in Iran\u2019s history and civilization to global audiences and ensure that the narrative of this important chapter of Iranian history is not shaped solely from the outside or through the perspectives of others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"post-text wp-block-paragraph\">He added: \u201cAlamut exemplifies how geographical, cultural, and historical assets can be harnessed to build resilience and ensure the enduring influence of ideas. This historical experience can also serve as a subject of research and study for Iran today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Strategic Heritage: An Opportunity to Strengthen the Resilience of Iranian Culture<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"post-text wp-block-paragraph\">In closing, Fartousi highlighted the concept of \u201cstrategic heritage,\u201d emphasizing: \u201cThe experience of Alamut can serve as a valuable resource for strengthening the resilience of Iranian culture, history, and geography.
