Masuleh
Masuleh (Persian: ماسوله; ⓘ) is a city in Sardar-e Jangal District of Fuman County, Gilan province, Iran.
Masuleh is approximately 60 km southwest of Rasht and 32 km west of Fuman. Its people are Talysh. The village is 1,050 meters above sea level in the Alborz mountain range, near the southern coast of the Caspian Sea. The village itself has a difference in elevation of 100 meters.
The formation of New Masuleh and the region's cultural and industrial development began after the Ilkhanid period. The Mongol invasion of Iran, along with waves of migration to the area, brought profound social and economic changes. These developments were further reinforced by the exchange of knowledge and the expansion of trade networks, which introduced new cultural and technical influences. One of the most significant factors was the growth of the iron industry, particularly the traditional production of sponge iron, which played a central role in shaping the region's economic foundation and subsequent development. The introduction of multi-stage iron furnaces in the area marked a major advancement in the traditional technology of iron production.
The native people of Masuleh are Gilak and Talysh, they speak Talysh.[citation needed]
At the time of the 2006 National Census, the city's population was 554 in 180 households. The following census in 2011 counted 568 people in 210 households. The 2016 census measured the population of the city as 393 people in 147 households.
Buildings are mostly two stories (1st floor and 'ground' floor), although there are three-story and four-story houses as well.
There are four main local communities at the city named: "Maza-var" (meaning beside the Mosque) at the south, "Khana-var" (beside homes) at the East, "Kasha-sar" (stretched on top) at the North, and, "Assa-mahala" (Assad community) at the West. Apparently, down town is the Market (Bazaar) area and also the main mosque of the city, named "O-ne-ben-ne Ali" (Awn Ibn Mohammad Ibn Ali Ibn. Abi Taleb) built in 969 AD.
In some of these houses, it has been possible to live in separate apartments in different periods. For example, the Zandipour House, which is now used as an apartment hotel, was accommodated by different families who lived in their separate apartment units for a long time. Each of these units had a separate bathroom and different families lived separately in each of the three floors. However, some three-story houses were occupied by an extended family as the children who were married lived together with their parents in a class structural house.
