Ḩeşārū’īyeh (Template:Lang-حصاروئیه) is a village in Kermān Province, Iran, located roughly 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) southeast of Shahr-e Babak.[1]
Etymology
One local author suggests that the name comes from the words Ḩeşār (حصار), meaning "fort", "fence", "wall", or "barrier", and bārū (بارو) meaning "fortification".[2]
History
Ḩeşārū’īyeh served as the stronghold of the Ismailis, who ruled Shahr-e Babak in the 1800s.[2] حصاروئیه
Surroundings
Ḩeşārū’īyeh is located close to Road 71, a national highway which connects Tehran in the north to Bandar-Abbas in the South. Beside the forts and the barriers, there is also a horseshoe-like stretched hill nearby called Tale-h Hesar, meaning "hill of the fort".[citation needed]
