Sabzevar, formerly called Beyhaq, gave rise to the 14th-century Sarbedaran movement, an uprising against the Mongol rulers of the land. The city was ruined and reconstructed many times throughout history until the Safavid era, when it flourished. Sabzevar is the commercial center for an agricultural region producing grapes and raisins. There is some small-scale industries, for food processing, copperware and electric motors. Through the old bazaar of Sabzevar, fresh, dried, and preserved fruits and vegetables are exported. The historian Abolfazl Beyhaqi (995-1077( is best known for his Beyhaqi History, which is considered one of the most credible sources on the Ghaznavid Empire (975-1187). The beautiful and fluent style of the book has made it a splendid piece of Persian literature.

Home to Sarbedaran MovementSABZEVAR

Sabzevar is located about 250 kilometers west of the provincial capital of Mashhad in the northeastern Khorasan Razavi Province. Sabzevar is situated at elevation 974 meters above sea level, and is the 2nd most populated city in Razavi Khorasan.

Sabzevar rugsSabzevar is on a major silk route between Mashad and Tehran. Due to the high copper content in the water, the wool found here is amongst the best Iran has to offer. Sabzevar has a rich history in rug design and has been an important source of Persian rugs since at least 1555.Sabzevar rugs are normally cotton based with a thin, tightly knotted wool pile. Similar to close lying Mashad in design, but with a curvilinear pattern and rounded medallion, many of these rugs boast Sabzevar flower detail which has both blue and red flowers on its branches. The carpets are mid-to-large sized.


SightseeingsThe history of Sabzevar goes back to the 1st millennium BC. Ancient remains include fire-temple ‘Azarbarzin’ which is still visible.

Pamenar MosqueArcheologists have identified some 496 historical sites in Sabzevar scoping from ancient mosques, schools and mausoleums to caravanserais, tombs and prehistoric mounds. One of the oldest monuments in central Sabzevar is the 9th-century Pamenar Mosque which was constructed during Taherid Dynasty - the first Iranian rule after the advent of Islam in the country. The mosque stands next to a 15-meter tall swinging minaret adorned with Kufic inscriptions and stunning brickwork. The minaret is over 900 years old and is attached to an ivan. Azure tiles bearing white Qur’anic verses adorn the Pamenar Mosque which includes a nine-arched sanctuary with three semi-arches.

Jaame’ MosqueAnother eye-catching structure in Sabzevar is the Jaame’ Mosque which dates back to the 13th and 14th centuries. The mosque has two prayer niches (mihrabs), the first of which was built for Sunni Muslims and the second, constructed inside the first, was designed for Shias. A Nast’aliq stone inscription has been placed above the entrance, which bears a decree from the Safavid king Tahmasb I. Two more inscriptions can be seen on the eastern walls bearing orders from Tahmasb II and the Qajar king Nasser al-din Shah. The mosque has two minarets, two ivans and two sanctuaries. Its facade is covered with multi-colored tiles covered with floral patterns and Qur’anic script.

Yahya MausoleumThe 6th-century Yahya Mausoleum, built during the Ilkhanid era, has been renovated a number of times. The monument was decorated with green, azure, white and golden tiles, bearing Qur’anic script in the 14th-century. The building has two entrances and two minarets, which were later added to the original structure along with an ivan, transenna and a dome covered with colorful tiles forming the words Allah, Ali and Mohammad.

Demon HouseThe quadric-arch known by locals as the ‘Demon House’ is believed by archeologists to be the remains of a fire temple belonging to Zoroastrian herdsmen and farmers. Located 2061 meters above sea level, the undecorated Sassanid stone structure, built in the form of a ziggurat, has a plaster-covered interior and exterior. Historical documents indicate that Adur Burzen-Mihr temple is one of the three ‘Royal Fires’, believed by Zoroastrians to have existed since the beginning of creation.

Faramarz Khan CaravanseraiFaramarz Khan Caravanserai has been turned into an anthropology museum, presenting a picturesque account of the city’s traditions, customs and culture. As Sabzevar is located in an arid region with hot and dry weather, its ancient inhabitants created and used ice pits or Yakhchals as an early type of refrigerator. These dome-shaped structures had a subterranean storage space for storing ice and food. The thick heat-resistant construction material insulated the storage space during the whole year.

The forest which is situated at a high altitude from sea level, has low temperatures in hot seasons. Abundant springs flow in the forest which is all but unique because of its diverse vegetation ecology.One feels a sense of coolness, freshness and aroma which are associated with the proximity of the clouds to your face, something which turns into raindrops on

your eyes and hair. Midway through the night, the clouds begin to pack their bags, so to speak. It is the time when the surrounding valleys become clearly visible. The clouds keep drifting around.Valleys get full of clouds and then become empty. Fast-moving clouds make the jungle look like the lab of an alchemist. Maran Castle, which was built by the Elamites at the mountain summit, is seen from a distance. At sunrise, the castle is enveloped in clouds and this evokes the images of a ship wandering in the Pacific Ocean.Aloo chal Waterfall is cascading over the rocks at the bottom of a valley which has remained intact due to its insurmountability.

After trying for years, unsuccessfully, to get stars and fans to stop self-snapping at festival premieres, festival director Thierry Fremaux has outlawed the selfie altogether.In an interview with Film francais magazine, Fremaux said he and Cannes festival president Pierre Lescure have decided to “outright forbid” selfies for the 71st edition of the festival, which runs May 8-19.“The untimely disorder created by the practice of selfies” interferes with the experience of the red carpet and the festival as a whole, Fremaux said, saying cell-phone snapping trivializes the grandeur of Cannes and, on a practical level, slows down foot traffic on the carpet, with crowds backed up behind self-snapping celebs.Fremaux has been anti-selfie from the start, calling the

procedure “ridiculous and grotesque.” But previous calls to stop self-snapping had little impact. In another move aimed at restoring Cannes’ red carpet prestige, Fremaux said competition films will no longer screen for the press and public ahead of their official world premiere gala in the evening. Instead, for 7 p.m. premieres, the press and critics will watch competition titles at the same time as the gala audience in a neighboring theater. For 10 p.m. premieres, the press will have to wait until the following morning for a screening.Cannes and other international festivals have complained in recent years that red carpet screenings have lost some of their allure as festival critics, who’ve watched the same film earlier in the day, often post reviews before the movie’s official world premiere.

La segunda fuente, ubicada aguas arriba y al noroeste de esta fuente, es agria y tiene un color rojo y azul anaranjado y se encuentra cerca de las fuentes de hierro. El flujo de agua sedimentario y aguas minerales de estos manantiales ha creado cientos de pisos a lo largo de los años en su montaña cuesta abajo, y ha hecho docenas de hermosos estanques en naranja, amarillo y rojo en dif-erentes tamaños.
