Shush Castle, also known as Acropol or French Castle, is a historical structure in Shush, Iran, dating back to the Qajar era. It was built by French archaeologist Jacques de Morgan in 1897 as a base for him and his team to conduct research and maintain the discovered ancient monuments. The castle was constructed using materials from other archaeological sites in Susa, including bricks from Apadana Palace and Chogha Zanbil.
