Aran and Bidgol (Persian: آران و بیدگل)[a] is a city in the Central District of Aran and Bidgol County, Isfahan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.

The area originally consisted of two distinct and separate villages named "Aran" and "Bidgol."

It was situated near the Silk Road and many caravans passed it on their way from Europe to the Orient.

About 40 years ago, the wall of separation collapsed and these two small towns unified.

Unfortunately, due to the unauthorized and illegal use of underground water tables by companies such as Foulad and Zob, this city has suffered a severe water shortage crisis, and as a result, we are witnessing severe land subsidence.
