Kreuzung der Seidenstraße, wo Persien auf den Kaukasus trifft
8 Highlights · tippen Sie auf einen PunktTabriz, Hauptstadt von Ost-Aserbaidschan und des überwiegend aserbaidschanisch-türkischsprachigen Nordwestens Irans, ist eines der ältesten Handels- und Kulturzentren des Landes und diente über die Epochen der Ilchane, der Qara Qoyunlu, der Aq Qoyunlu und der Safawiden hinweg immer wieder als nationale oder regionale Hauptstadt. Der von der UNESCO gelistete historische Basarkomplex, der größte überdachte Basar der Welt, war jahrhundertelang ein zentraler Knotenpunkt der Seidenstraße und wurde von Reisenden von Marco Polo bis Ibn Battuta besucht. Berühmt ist die Stadt für die Blaue Moschee (Kabud) aus timuridischer Zeit mit ihrem bekannten kobaltblauen Fliesenwerk, für ihre Rolle als Wiege der iranischen Konstitutionellen Revolution sowie für eine eigenständige Küche und Teppichknüpftradition.
