Bajestān

Bajestan lies in southern Khorasan, northeast of Mount Gorgu. Its gardens are known for pomegranates, and saffron is also grown in the district. The medieval geographer Yaqut described Bajestan as a village of Nishapur. Later, the historian Hafiz-i Abru counted three villages and twenty farms in its district. During the Safavid period, the town was exposed to Uzbek raids. Caravanserais at Fakhrabad, Qasemabad and Zeinabad stood along the routes serving this part of Khorasan.
