 The
city of Tabriz is situated 619 km. northwest of Tehran and 150
km. from the borders of Iran and the Republic of Azarbayjan.
This city is generally cold but due to its environment the
climate is extremely pleasant. Rivers such as Ajy Chay, Liqvan
Chay, Maidan Chay and Soofian Chay flow through this area. In an
inscription related to Sangar II one of the Assyrian rulers 714
BC, the name of Tabriz has been mentioned in the 3rd and 4th
centuries BC when the city of Tabriz was of great importance.
For the first time in the 4th century AH., the Raavadian family
proclaimed Tabriz as their capital. During the said period and
the Mongol reign, Tabriz experienced many earthquakes causing it
to become a ruined city. But after the Mongol conquests this
city was made capital by 'Abaqakhan' of the Ilkhanan. During the
reign of 'Mahmood Qazan' (69 AH.) the city thrived . Mosques
such as Alishah, Robe Rashidy, and Shonab Qazan were constructed
during this period. During the Safavid dynasty Tabriz was the
capital of Iran. The Kabood Mosque is a relic from the time of
the Turkamans. In later centuries Tabriz has been the seat of
great warriors facing the Ottomans and Russians. Personalities
such as Sattar Khan and Baqer Khan in their fight against
despotism is on historical record. In the year 1299 AH., Sheikh
Mohammad Khiyabani (one of the clergymen) revolted against the
colonialist policies of the British government. The Islamic
revolution owes its success partly, because of the participation
of the people of Tabriz and their heroic deeds.
 Tabriz
(in Persian تبریز) is a city in Iran with a population of 1.4
million people. Tabriz is situated north of the volcanic cone of
Sahand south of the Eynali mountain. It is the capital of the
province of East Azerbaijan.
Tabriz is the main cultural centers of the Iranian Azerbaijan,
and most of its people are Azeris (a Turkic speaking people).
Though the entire population is fluent in Persian, the main
local language in the city is Azeri, a spoken only dialect of
Azerbaijani Turkic mixed with some Arabic and lots of Persian
loan words. Historically, the founding of the city is shrouded
in mystery. Some sources mention the Sassanid era, while others
claim that it had been built by one of the wives of Harun
al-Rashid. Tabriz was the capital of the Ilkhanate empire from
about 1270 to 1305, of the Aq Quyunlu from about 1469 to about
1502, and of the Safavids from 1502 to 1548.
Violent earthquakes have wiped out most of the historic
monuments of Tabriz. The chief survival is the Tabriz Citadel
(Arg e Tabriz or Arg-e Alishah), a ruin of vertical book-shaped
elements. The Blue Mosque of Tabriz (Goy-Machid), is another
important monument in the city.
Tabriz is where the constitutionalists of Iran were centered
during the early 20th century. An American who died defending
the Constitutional Revolution, Howard Baskerville, is buried in
Tabriz. The famous Iranian historian and philosopher, Ahmad
Kasravi, was born in a nearby village called Hokmavar. Samad
Behrangi famous Azerbaijani writer also was native of Tabriz.
and famous musicians like Ali Salimi, Vahid houseini, Ostad
Shaterian were tar specialists.
Tabriz has a climate not unlike that of Denver, Colorado. The
weather gets very hot in the summer and very cool in the winter. |
