Shīrāz

Iran

capital, central Fārs ostān (province), southwestern Iran. It is located in the southern part of the Zagros Mountains on an agricultural lowland at an elevation of 4,875 feet (1,486 metres). Famous for its wine, it is both a historic site and an attractive modern city, with gardens, shrines, and mosques. Shīrāz is the birthplace of the Persian poets Saʿdī and Ḥāfeẓ, whose garden tombs, both resplendently renovated, lie on the northern outskirts. Despite calamitous floods (1630, 1668), pestilences, famines, and earthquakes (chiefly 1824, 1853), much of the city has survived.

Shīrāz was important during the Seleucid (312–175 BC), Parthian (247 BC–AD 224), and Sāsānid (c. AD 224–651) periods. In the early 13th century the Mongols built the New Mosque and the fortress Bāgh-e Takht. In 1387 and again in 1393, Timur (Tamerlane), the Turkic conqueror, occupied Shīrāz, which, with its Congregational Mosque (894), Shāh Cherāgh shrine (1344–49), and Great Library (later the Madrasseh, or theological school; 1615), had become a Muslim centre rivaling Baghdad. In 1724 the city was sacked by Afghan invaders. Shīrāz became capital of the Zand dynasty (1750–94), whose founder, the vakīl (regent) Karīm Khān Zand, adorned the old city with many fine buildings, including his mausoleum (an octagonal tiled kiosk, now a museum); the Ark, or citadel (now a prison); and the Vakīl Bazaar and Mosque. Buildings in the new city include the Persian Church of St. Simon the Zealot and the university (1945).

The city, a trading and road centre for the central Zagros Mountains, is linked to Bushire, its port on the Persian Gulf. It has cement, sugar, and fertilizer factories and textile mills. Traditional inlay work flourishes, as does weaving in the surrounding region. Pop. (2006) 1,227,331.
