It is the land of Azargoshnasp temple; The fire temple of the Kings and the Nobles of Iran. It is perhaps the birth place of Zaratushtra. Tabriz, Being the provincial capital of East Azarbaijan ( Aturpatgan ), has slightly more than 1,700,000 population and was the second largest city in Iran until the early 1970's. Tabriz has been the capital city of Iran on numerous times throughout the old history of this country. Tabriz is located in a valley to the north of the beautiful Mount Sahand. The valley opens out into a plain that slopes down gently to the northern end of Lake Orumieh, about 60 km to the west. Tabriz is 310 km southeast of Bazargan (Iranian-Turkish frontier); 159 km south of Jolfa on Iran- Aran (Azarbaijan Republic) border, and can be reached by very good roads, rail (742km from Tehran , with connections to the Europe and Moscow), and air from Tehran and other major cities. __________History Edit This The present-day city has been built and rebuilt on the site of the ancient settlement of Tauris, formerly a prosperous trading centre and the capital of Armenia in the 3rd century AD. Tabrìz has been severely damaged over the centuries by earthquakes (notably in 858, 1041, and 1721) and by invaders such as the Seljuk Turks, Mongols, Ottoman Turks, and Russians. The city was occupied by Russian troops during 1827-1828, and in 1946 it was the scene of a short-lived leftist revolution Some say the Valley of Tabriz may be the site of the biblical Garden of Eden ________Getting Around Edit This Borje shahdarai Borje shahdarai Tarahan-web.com Getting around Tabriz can be both simple and difficult! Since Taxi is quite cheap, there is no point in looking for public city busses. They have no time table or other writen informations. If you just go out looking around you will always find an orange Taxi looking for a customer. With 1 or 2 american dollars they will take you where you want. _______Getting There Edit This There are different ways of getting to Tabriz. If you are coming form Tehran then I recommand to fly or use the buss. Flying between Tabriz and Tehran will cost you something around 35 US dollar. To take the buss is much cheaper. The buss will use around 8-9 hours. Flying will take 1.5 hour. Tabriz is not so far away from the Turkish border, so it is possible to take the buss from Turkey if you come from that side. _______Bazar Edit This Strolling in the center of Tabriz, one is reminded very forcibly that it is a commercial city; one cannot miss its very large and 15th-century covered bazaar. It is already much diminished in its variety of goods, but still a great place for getting hopelessly lost amid its dusty architectural splendors. Its architectural style, numerous carvanserais, mosques , and schools have added further beauty and glory to this complex. Exact information on the history and origin of the bazaar is not available; however, historical buildings such as the Jami Mosque, and Sadeqiyeh School indicate that the complex is one of the oldest structures of the city. The present structure of bazaar dates back to the closing years of the Zand Dynasty (A.D. 1750-1779). The complex has high brick domes and arches. It includes several small bazaars, or bazaarcheh, each for a specific guild and craft. Carpet making is the main trade, but Tabriz is also renowned for its silverware and jewelry. The spice bazaar, one of the most pungent and impressive in Iran, is an excellent place for picking up henna. Look out also for Azari hats resembling those worn by the gypsies of Western Europe. |
