Shiraz, Provincial capital in Fars region, Iran
The city stretches across an agricultural lowland at 1500 meters elevation, surrounded by the Zagros Mountains in southwestern Iran.
The Zand dynasty established Shiraz as their capital from 1750 to 1794, during which Karim Khan commissioned numerous architectural developments.
Persian poets Saadi and Hafez were born in Shiraz, and their tombs with surrounding gardens remain major landmarks in the northern area.
The city functions as a trade center connecting to Bushire port, supporting industries such as cement production, sugar refineries, and textile manufacturing.
Shiraz maintains active traditional craft production, particularly inlay work and weaving, which continue throughout the surrounding regions.
