The Role and Effect of Arg-e Zanjan on the Society and the City in the Qajar era and Later

Arg was a part of a city in which the king or ruler used to live there. Moreover, it was a place for the state's installations. The Arg-e Zanjan, which was rebuilt and reconstructed during the period of Aga Mohammad Khan, had the same function. During the Qajar period, the Arg-e Zanjan played a significant role in the constitutional revolution, Bábism, and upheavals. Besides, the Arg-e Zanjan, as one of the defensive structures of the city, has various psychological effects on the people of Zanjan's inhabitants. Moreover, from a physical viewpoint, it has lasting effects on the architecture and shape of Zanjan buildings and houses. Hence, its physical appearance is introverted, and the house's walls and fences are very high.
