Dating from over 25 centuries ago, Hamadan is of considerable importance historically. It isbounded on the north by Tehran and Zanjan, on the east by Markazi, on the south by Lorestan and on the west by Kermanshah and Kordestan provinces.The climate is of great variety. It is cold in the highlands, but temperate in the southern areas. In general, there are heavy snowfalls in winter The highlands enjoy summers with a pleasant climate, attracting large numbers of visitors.Some part of the Zagross range stretches from south-west to the south of the province. The highlands of Alvand lie in the north-east and east. The peaks of Mt. Kalaghlan and D&em Barf (3850 meters), the access to which is across the valley of Morad Beyg and the Mishan plain, are of considerable attraction.
