Astara District, Administrative district in southeastern Azerbaijan
The district extends over 616 square kilometers of varied terrain, including the Talish Mountains and lowlands bordering the Caspian Sea and Iran.
Established in 1965 during the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic period, the district developed as a strategic point on the Baku-Tehran trade route.
The district population includes a substantial Talysh community, who maintain their traditional practices of carpet weaving and woodworking across the Iranian border.
The district functions as a major transit point between Azerbaijan and Iran, with customs checkpoints processing international cargo and passenger traffic.
In the village of Archivan, the Asadulla-bulagi spring produces a natural phenomenon where lit matches create fire fountains from the water source.
