Lorestan<\/a><\/strong> is one of the western provinces of Iran, rich in history and natural beauty. When visiting the region, there are many Lorestan attractions<\/a> to explore. It has been inhabited since the fourth millennium BCE, making it a significant region for archeologists. The region’s people, due to the absence of written records, have remained largely unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, archeologists believe Lorestan is one of the first places humans settled for agriculture, animal domestication, and permanent living. The capital city, Khorramabad<\/a><\/strong>, is a hub of historical and natural attractions that are must-visit for any traveler in Iran. Join SURFIRAN<\/strong><\/a> to learn more about Lorestan’s attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Falak-ol-Aflak Castle<\/strong> is one of Lorestan’s most famous historical attractions.
