Mīyaneh

Miyaneh lies near the Qezel Uzan, where the river turns east through the highlands of Azerbaijan toward the Safidrud valley. The town commands a route between the Iranian interior and Tabriz. East of it, the bridge of Qaflankuh spans the river beneath a mountain fortress; an inscription records its completion in 1484. Another bridge over the Qaranqu dates from Safavid times and was later rebuilt under the Qajars.
