The Eagle's Nest: Ismaili Castles in Iran and Syria | Peter Willey
1 post | 1 to read
Peter Willey is the world authority on the Ismaili castles of Iran and Syria. Educated at Charterhouse and Cambridge, he was badly wounded at Anzio in 1944 and subsequently spent many years in the discovery and investigation of the Ismaili castles. He now lectures on the Middle East and Islamic art and culture at Bristol University. He has written a number of books including 'The Castles of the Assassins' (1963) which is still regarded as the standard work on the subject, and he has contributed to the 'Encyclopaedia of Islam' on Islamic monuments.

The Eagle's Nest: Ismaili Castles in Iran and Syria | Peter Willey

#AbbaInAugust Day 20: One of the most disturbing and goosebumps-inducing tours we have taken last year in Germany was this trip to Hitler‘s #Eagle‘s Nest at Obersalzerg. Accdg to Wikipedia: It was used exclusively by members of the Nazi Party for government and social meetings. It was visited on 14 documented instances by Adolf Hitler, who disliked the location due to his fear of heights.
