Fath Ali shah inscription
and Rey Castle by Eugène Flandin]]
Rey Castle was an ancient castle or defensive wall, located in Cheshmeh-Ali, south of Tehran and north of Rey. The castle is located above the Fath Ali shah inscription and dates back to 4000 BC in the Medes empire. It is assumed that the Castle was ruined by an earthquake and that Seleucus I Nicator rebuilt it.
