Qale- Dokhtar, is located in 12 km north of Bidestan village of Torud rural district and on the northern edge of the central desert of the Iranian plateau. According to the geographical distribution of the territory of the Isma’ili state and their presence in the Qumis region for about two centuries, special attention should be paid to the Qal'a of the mentioned area in order to know them to be Isma’ili, and on the other hand, they should be discussed with caution. The evidence in Qale-Dokhtar of Bidestan such as pottery, architecture type, and especially the way of managing water resources and storage it, has raised the possibility of being Ismaili. Considering Qale-Dokhtar of Bidestan as an Ismaili castle, the Ismaili government's economic resources will undergo significantly in the studies of this field. It is obvious that during their two centuries of dominance over the Qal'a of the Qumis region, the Ismailis were able to dominate and exploit important commercial highways such as the Khorasan Highway as well as the roads leading to Qumis over Tabaristan and Jorjan. With Ismaili knowing the Qale-Dokhtar of Bidestan, it is also raised that they dominated the road from Isfahan to Damghan and Bastam from the south and by exploiting various mines around the castle such as copper and gold mines, in addition to dominating the roads leading to the heart of Qumis, they also dominated important economic resources and this led to the stabilization of their economic base during the life of their government.
The present study will introduce and describe The Qale-Dokhtar of Bidestan and its historical situation. The considered question is if Qale-Dokhtar can be considered as one of the Isma’ili castles in Qumis region? Moreover, how is the importance of this castle justified for the Ismailis? The geographical importance of the Qale-Dokhtar of Bidestan, as well as the evidence in the castle, give it a great probability that it is Isma’ili.
