Sarcham

Sarcham lies on the road between Zanjan and Miyaneh, beside the Zanjan River. An old caravanserai stood here as a stopping place on the route linking Qazvin and Tabriz. Its surviving entrance and riverside setting recall the movement of caravans through the valley towards Azerbaijan. The Zanjan River joins the Qezel Ozan farther downstream, and the road follows the broken country between the high plateau and the mountains to the north.
