The capital of Gilan Province in northwestern Iran. It is located on a tributary of the Safid River, at the western end of the Elburz Mountains. Since the Russian southward expansion policy in the 17th century, it has gained administrative importance, but it was occupied by the Russian and Soviet armies during the First and Second World Wars, and its economy declined significantly after that. In addition to being the center of local administration and culture, it is a commercial and industrial city that collects and processes rice, tea, and peanuts, and manufactures silk textiles, soap, glass, and jute bags, in the surrounding rice-growing areas. A large dam was completed on the Safid River in 1962. It is connected by major roads to Bandar-e Anzali, Tehran, Tabriz, and has an airport. Population: 557,366 (2006).

イラン北西部,ギーラーン州の州都。サフィード川の支流に臨み,エルブールズ山脈の西端に位置する。17世紀のロシアの南下政策以来,行政上の重要性を増したが,第1次・第2次世界大戦中はロシア軍,ソビエト連邦軍に占領され,さらにその後の経済的衰退によって著しく低迷した。地方行政と文化の中心であるほか,周辺の米作地帯を控えて,米,チャ(茶),ナンキンマメなどの集散加工,絹織物,石鹸,ガラス,ジュート袋などの製造も行なわれる商工業都市である。1962年にはサフィード川に大規模なダムが完成した。バンダレアンザリー,テヘラン,タブリーズなどと幹線道路で結ばれ,空港もある。人口 55万7366(2006)。
