Qazvin Tourist Attractions
In the course of its
turbulent history, Iran has known many capitals. The reign
of Safavid kings was long (235 years) and relatively peaceful and the latter
resulted in a sudden economic and cultural bloom of the country. During Safavid
era three cities respectively Tabriz, Qazvin and Isfahan, functioned as the
capital of Iran and as a result contain numerous tourist attractions of the
period. During the great days of early Safavid era, Qazvin served as the capital
of Persia and its political and economic center and many great historic tourist
attractions of the 16th attest to the prominence of this Iranian city. Among
these significant monuments one could point to Chehel-Sotun of Qazvin, a beautiful
pavilion with stunning glass work and unique Iranian architecture. Despite being
smaller and less luxurious than its counterpart in Isfahan, Chehel-Sotun of
Qazvin is historically older and equally significant. Qazvin Bazaar is another
major historic spot in the city where the tradesmen have been bargaining for
centuries. As with all historic bazaars in Iran, Qazvin Bazaar is a triumph of
Iranian artistry and architecture. No account of historic monuments in Iran is
complete without a passage on religious buildings and Qazvin boasts many prime
examples of these sublime structures. Aminiha Hoesseynieh is a 19th century
religious edifice built by an affluent merchant for religious ceremonies held
specifically in the holy months of Ramadan and Moharram. The wooden internal
decorations of Aminiha Hoesseynieh in the form of bedecked flowers present the
sterling handicraft of the Iranian artists of the era. After the Muslim Conquest
of Iran, many Zoroastrian fire temples were razed to the ground by the
conquerors and grand mosques were established upon their foundations. Jameh
Mosque of Qazvin is one such edifice. It is one of the oldest congregational
mosques in Iran and an important item in the list of
Qazvin tourist
attractions.
