Nishapur, Historical city in Razavi Khorasan, Iran.
Nishapur extends across a fertile plain near the Binalud Mountains at an elevation of 1200 meters, forming a significant urban settlement in northeastern Iran.
The city, founded in the third century by Sasanian King Shapur I, became a central administration point for the Khorasan region during multiple Persian dynasties.
Within its boundaries, Nishapur maintains the mausoleums of Persian intellectuals Omar Khayyam and Attar, representing substantial contributions to literature and astronomy.
The local economy combines traditional carpet manufacturing, agricultural production of cereals and cotton, and the operation of pottery workshops throughout the district.
Archaeological excavations between 1934 and 1940 uncovered extensive remains from the Seljuq period, including refined ceramics and architectural elements from the medieval era.
