Hamedan is believed to be among the oldest Iranian cities. It is possible that it was occupied by the Assyrians in 1100 BCE; the Ancient Greek historian, Herodotus, states that it was the capital of the Medes, around 700 BCE. The highly cultural nature of this old city and its historic sites attract tourists during the summer to this city. Hamedan is home to many poets and writers. Badi’ al-Zaman al-Hamadani, author of the Maqamat, was born here and the 11th-century Iranian poet Baba Taher was interred here. Avicenna, the scientist and writer once lived and worked in Hamedan, he is also buried in the city; the Avicenna Mausoleum was constructed in his honor in 1952.
