Qazvin

or Kazvin, a city in northwestern Iran, near the southern foothills of the Elburz Range, in Tehran Province. Population, 92, 000 (1971).

Qazvin has a railroad station and is a highway junction. It is the commercial center for an agricultural region that produces grain, grapes, and pistachios. It has vegetable-oil presses, flour mills, and textile mills and is a major rug-weaving center.

Qazvin has been known since the time of the Sassanids. In the Middle Ages trade routes from Iran to Transcaucasia passed through the city. In 1220 after bitter resistance it was captured by the Mongols and destroyed, but was later restored and became one of the cultural centers of Iran. Qazvin was at its peak in the 16th century, when it was the capital of the Safawid state (1548 to 1597–98). The city gradually lost importance in the 18th century. The Afghan conquest in 1722 led to a major anti-Afghan rebellion (December 1722-January 1723) and to the expulsion of the Afghans from Qazvin.

Two major architectural monuments have been preserved. The main hall of the Mosque of the Congregation dates from 1106–14 and the portal from the 17th century. The Haideriyeh Mosque was built in the early 12th century and is decorated with carved stucco.
