Shahr-e Gholghola, also known as the "City of Screams," is an ancient archaeological site located in Bamyan, Afghanistan. Situated in the Bamyan Valley, this historical city dates back to the 6th century and is renowned for its strategic location and rich history. It was a thriving center during the era of the Ghorid dynasty but faced devastation during the Mongol invasion in the 13th century. The ruins of Shahr-e Gholghola, which include remnants of fortifications, towers, and residential structures, offer a glimpse into the region's past and bear testimony to its once-flourishing culture and subsequent destruction.
