Tabriz

Tabriz is the traditional capital of the Persian province of Azerbaijan, set on an alluvial plain near Lake Urmiya and prone to earthquakes. It became the capital of Azerbaijan under the Ildegizid Atabegs and reached its greatest splendour as capital of the Mongol Il-Khans under Ghazan Khan. Jalayirid, Timurid and Kara Koyunlu rulers followed, and later Safavid-Ottoman wars; its monuments include the Blue Mosque built by Khatun Jan in 870/1465.
