Kazerun

Kazerun (Persian: کازرون Kāzerūn) is a city in Fars province, Iran, situated between Shiraz and Bushehr. It had an estimated population of 89,013 in 2005. It is located about 19 km south of the ruins of the ancient city of Bishapur with bas-relief depictions from the Sasanid era. Its agricultural products include date palms, citrus orchards, wheat, tobacco, rice, cotton, and vines.

The nearby ruins of the ancient city of Bishapur include bas-relief depictions from the Sasanid era (ca. 224–651). A statue of Shapur I (AD 241–272) can be found in a large cave at the site. The ruins of the Qal'eh-ye Gabri (Castle of the Gabrs, or Zoroastrians) are located on a mound S.E. of Kazerun.

Nasrollah Mardani, a famous Persian poet, comes from Kazerun. It is also believed that Salman the Persian, one of the followers of the prophet Mohammad, comes from this city. "Welcome to Salman the Persian" can be seen at the entrance of the city.
