About Markazi Province

Markazi province is approximately located at the center of Iran (hence the name in the Persian language which means central province). The center of the province, which is also the biggest city in the province, is Arak city. This province is known as the industrial capital of Iran. It’s quite rich in cultural terms and it’s also considered to be one of the important provinces of Iran in terms of history and tourism.

 

The province borders with Tehran and Ghazvin Provinces northwards, Hamedan Province eastwards, Lorestan and Isfahan Provinces southwards, and Tehran, Qom, and Isfahan Provinces eastwards. Markazi Province has 29,126 square kilometers area and also has always been one of the reliable centers of spreading science, knowledge, and culture. Markazi province, regarding cultural and religious aspects, is one of the main centers for the cultivation of intellectuals, poets, mystics, politicians, and scholars of Shiite religion, so that countless scholars, scientists, poets, and politicians of this land are introduced to the scientific, literary, cultural, and political society of Iran and the world.
