Jandaq (Persian: جندق) is a city in the Central District of Khur and Biabanak County, Isfahan province, Iran,[2] serving as the administrative center for Jandaq Rural District.[3]

The monuments of Jandaq include Jandaq Castle (or Fortress of Ardbil), which seems to date back to the Sasanian Empire, and which is known as the prison of Khosrow Anushirvān. [4]
