Kārzīn

Karzin lies in the warm southern valleys of Fars, near Qir and the routes towards the Persian Gulf. It was known as a town with many date palms, watered by the Zakan River and protected by a strong fortress. The district belonged to the wider country of Ardashir Khurra, whose centre lay to the north at Firuzabad. Fields, palm groves and fortified settlements occupied the valleys between the long parallel ranges of the southern Zagros.
