The fort had a security-protection function and was built to protect Tabriz at the time it was called "Tarmakis". This castle is located on top of a low hill on the slopes of Sahand and it has dimensions of about 700 meters by 500 meters.

In the central part, a large number of rubble is scattered, which is probably related to one of the Urartu facilities, which may have collapsed and been destroyed by an earthquake or other disasters. Considering the numerous pottery scattered on the surface of the castle and towers and fortifications and stratified walls with a diameter of 2 meters and a height of more than 6 meters, it can be guessed that the castle has been reused after destruction due to its privileged position in the Islamic era.
