According to reports from Iran, floods in fourteen provinces of Iran have caused significant destruction to almost 50% of historical monuments. The flooding has also caused major human and financial losses.

The historical sites and great monuments include some which have been standing for hundreds of years. However, due to a lack of proper care and neglect for the past few decades since the Iranian revolution, they have been damaged and are now further damaged by the effects of floods, earthquakes, and other natural disasters.

Hormozgan Province is one of the provinces affected by the floods. It is said that eight historical monuments have been severely damaged in this province so far. Some of the damaged historical sites include: Hazareh castle, Gorband castle, Kordar castle, Moghayeh castle, the city of Bandar Lengeh, and the Khan castle and bath, which was badly damaged in Bastak city. The Portuguese forts on the island of Hormuz and the Kamiz castle in Rudan have also been damaged by recent rains.
