Arg-e Tabriz (also Arg-e Ali-Shāh) is a remnant of a fortress built in the Ilkhanate period. Currently it is placed in the center of Tabriz, in Iran.
Historians believe that it was used as a military castle but clerics claim that the structure was initially used as a mosque in its early days, but during the Qajar era was used as a military post, and storage facility for weapons (in Persian Ark means castle).
