Summary edit

Description

Mashhad, literally the place of martyrdom, is the second largest city in Iran and one of the holiest cities in the Shia Muslim world. It is located 850km (530 mi) east of Tehran, at the center of Khorasan Province close to the borders of Afghanistan and Turkmenistan. Its population was 2,427,316 at the 2006 population census. Mashhad is notably known as the resting place of Imam Reza. A shrine was later built there to commemorate the Imam, which in turn gave rise to increasing demographic development. Mashhad is also known as the city of Ferdowsi, the great Persian poet of the Shah-nameh, which is considered to be the Persian national epic.
