Ghazvin City

Since the city was the former capital of the Persian Empire under the Safavid Period (1501 AD) and is situated in the vicinity of the capital Tehran, it has been of central importance at various moments of Iranian history as during the Qajar Dynasty and contemporary period, it has always been one of the most important governmental centers, connecting the capital of the country to the northern and western parts.

Of the historical monuments of the city, the Ali Qapu mansion, the Meimoon Ghaleh ruins – one of several Sassanid edifices in the area, Jame Mosque, Masjed Al-nabi (Soltani Mosque) – one of the glorious Safavid mosques of antiquity, and the Kharraqan twin towers – one of the first monuments in Islamic architecture are well worth a visit.
