موقعیت
Qazvin sits on a plain below the Alborz, with a preserved Safavid gateway, caravanserais and a long covered market.
اهمیت این مکان در صنایع دستی
Qazvin served as the Safavid capital before Isfahan, and the period's court arts — manuscript painting, illumination and calligraphy — are associated with the city in art-historical writing. Present-day craft activity is smaller and more mixed.
