Qazvin, Capital city in Qazvin Province, Iran
Located 130 kilometers west of Tehran, Qazvin stands at 1347 meters elevation, surrounded by the Alborz Mountain range with flat terrain to the south.
The city gained prominence as the capital of the Safavid Empire from 1555 to 1598, following the loss of Tabriz to Ottoman forces.
The Chehel Sotoun pavilion, part of the former Safavid palace complex, represents Persian architectural traditions through its columns and decorative elements.
The city connects major routes between Tehran, Isfahan, and the Caspian coast, supporting textile production facilities and agricultural operations.
