The Valley of the Assassins Alamut Valley in Iran was the home of the Assassins – an almost mythical cult of fanatics during the Middle Ages. These old-school hitmen would descend from mountaintop strongholds on murderous missions targeting political and religious adversaries. You can still see the crumbled remains of some of these old fortresses by hiking in the valley.⠀
