Rasht is the capital city of Gilan Province, Iran. Also known as the “City of Rain”, is the most populated city of northern Iran. Historically, Rasht was a major transport and business center which connected Iran to the rest of Europe, and because of this was known as the “Gate of Europe”. The city has a history that goes back to the 13th century but its modern history dates back to the Safavid era during which Rasht was a major silk trade center with numerous textile workshops. The name of this city was first mentioned in Umayyad historical documents in 682 CE, but it is certainly older than this and appears on the Peutinger Map of late antiquity.
