Qorveh-e Darjazīn

Qorveh lies in the Darjazin country northeast of Hamadan, a district of villages and cultivated plains among the hills of western Iran. Medieval writers knew Darjazin as a productive area on the road between Hamadan and the northern plateau. The district also gave its name to scholars and officials, including men who served the Seljuk rulers. Fields and settlements here form a contrast with the higher ridges that separate the plains from their neighbours.
