This
is one of the permanent springs in Damghan, 30 km north of the
city. Thanks to its verdant foliage and pleasant climate this
region has been frequented by people from ancient times. During
the Qajar period many buildings were constructed in Cheshmeh-Ali
among which the Fat'hali Shah and Aqa Mohammad-Khan palaces
still stand erect. Fat'hali Shah's palace is built in the middle
of a lagoon placed between the first and second spring and Aqa
Mohammad-Khan's palace is facing opposite the former palace.

Zangol, Toghrol's Tower, Qoosheh Amirabad Caravansary,
historical hills and hazel-shaped castles around the city as
well as Gerdkuh and Masoumzadeh Mehmandoust fortifications.
