Firdaws-i Bareen

Firdous e Bareen (Persian: فردوس برین) refers to the legendary ancient Persian garden located within the confines of the Alamut Fortress in the Elburz mountains of Northern Iran. This site gained prominence as the supposed sanctuary of Hassan-i-Sabah on the stories about him and his band of Nizari Ismaili Shiite Hashshashin during the 11th and 12th centuries.
