Press TV - A restoration team from Germany's Kassel University will join Iranian archeologists to undertake restoration of the stable of the Bam Citadel.

“Iran has signed a contract with officials of Germany's Kassel University for restoration of the stable of the Bam Citadel,” Eskandar Mokhtari, manager of the Bam Restoration Project said.

The Bam Citadel is the largest adobe building in the world, located in Bam, a city in Iran's southeastern province of Kerman. It is included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites under the title: "Bam and its Cultural Landscape".

The citadel has four main sections: the residential section, stable, army barracks, and the governor's residence.

The stable, which is one of the largest structures in the citadel, measures 60 x 70 meters and has the capacity to house 200 horses.

An earthquake almost completely destroyed the Citadel on December 26, 2003, leaving a huge restoration project for domestic and foreign archeologists.
