Shiraz

Shiraz, titled dar al-ilm, is the capital of Fars in southern Iran, an Islamic foundation on a long-inhabited site, probably founded or restored in 74/693 by Muhammad, brother of al-Hajjaj, or by Muhammad ibn al-Qasim. It became an economic and cultural centre under the Buyid ruler Adud al-Dawla, and later passed through Seljuk, Muzaffarid, Timurid, Safavid, Zand and Qajar rule. Its population reached about 325,000 by 1972.
