Farzian

Farzian (Persian: فرزيان, also Romanized as Farzīān, Fārisiyān, Fārsīān, Farzeyān, and Farzīyan)[1] is a village in Japelaq-e Sharqi Rural District, Japelaq District, Azna County, Lorestan Province, Iran.

The fact that this city shared its name with another in Sogdia serves as evidence for the migration of Aryans into Iran from the Central Asians Plains.

From the 12th to the 16th centuries AD, the most significant site in the Japelaq region was Farzian Castle, a stronghold built by Al-Ajl which often served as a refuge for rebels.

Until the 1970s, Farzian was a popular destination for tourists on account of its beautiful pine groves, vineyards and gardens.

The village is crossed by the dry beds of two former rivers - the Godara from northwest, and the Jopileh from southwest.
