East Azarbaijan Province Essentials

East Azarbaijan Province centers on Tabriz, home to the world’s largest covered bazaar and the 15th-century Blue Mosque, known for its intricate turquoise tiling. The region’s history spans from the 13th-century Maragheh Observatory to the UNESCO-listed Saint Stepanos Monastery near the Aras River. Defensive landmarks like the mountaintop Babak Castle and the Parthian-era Zahhak Castle define the rugged landscape, while the Urmia Lake Bridge connects the province to Western Azarbaijan across Iran’s largest salt lake.
