| KERMANSHAH
|
An important station on the ancient trading route to Baghdad, Kermanshah is by far the largest and busiest city in this part of Iran. First built on a site of a few kilometers from the present city, it probably dates back to the 4th century A.D. with a beautiful setting, framed by permanently snow-clad mountains. Kermanshah should be avoided in winter, but the climate is very pleasant for the rest of the year. The city's situation is highly picturesque which is one of the liveliest market-centers of the province. The men wear large turbans on their heads and black dungarees tight round their waists and ankles. The women wear trousers and bright-colored scarves and sometimes brocade bodices. In the surrounding countryside various kinds of fruit are grown with another local product sugar beet. Carpet weaving and manufacture of Gyves (canvas-covered shoes like the Spanish alpargata in appearance) have long been carried on in town.
