Amol, Ancient city in Mazandaran Province, Iran
Amol extends along the Haraz River banks, positioned between the Caspian Sea and Alborz Mountains in northern Iran's Mazandaran Province.
The settlement traces its origins to the Iron Age Amardi tribe and maintained its position as Mazandaran's capital from the Sassanid period through the Ilkhanid era.
The city preserves Persian traditions through its rice cultivation practices, regional festivities like Tiregan, and the production of traditional crafts including pottery and basketry.
The Rice Research Institute of Iran operates in Amol, contributing to agricultural innovation and establishing the city as the primary rice production center of Iran.
Mount Damavand, the Middle East's highest peak, stands near Amol, making the city a starting point for mountaineering expeditions and geological research.
