Qazvin was the Safavid capital before Isfahan, and parts of the old centre still show it. There is the Chehel Sotun pavilion, the long brick halls of Sad al-Saltaneh Caravanserai, the Jameh Mosque and the bazaar.<\/p>\n
Further out are the Alamut Valley and the castle of Hassan Sabbah. We also cover the Qajar bathhouse museum and Kantur, a small Russian-built church.
