Mianeh, East Azerbaijan
Mianeh (Persian: ميانه) is a city in the Central District of Mianeh County, East Azerbaijan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district. It is the fourth most populous city of the province. The people of Mianeh are Azerbaijanis who live close to the borders shared with Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Turkey. This region is known for its Azerbaijani culture, language, and traditions that are distinct from central areas of Iran.
At the time of the 2006 National Census, the city's population was 87,385 in 22,728 households. The following census in 2011 counted 95,505 people in 26,549 households. The 2016 census measured the population of the city as 98,973 people in 30,504 households.
Mianeh is in a valley, approximately 439 kilometres (273 mi) northwest of Tehran and approximately 187 kilometres (116 mi) southeast of East Azerbaijan's largest city and capital, Tabriz. The city was strategically located, during antiquity was a frontier city for a key travel route between Iraq and Azerbaijan.
The city is an important manufacturer of steel. Currently, a lot of Baroque-style construction work is happening in the housing sector, modernizing the city. It has a historical Bazaar where mainly textile sellers, clothing sellers, carpet sellers, and gold sellers are present. Since 2020, a vibrant Sangfarsh (Stone Carpet) has been built in the Bazaar district, where small shops can be found with natural products from across the region and country, amongst others.[citation needed]
Mianeh has an important railway serving both industrial needs (for the steel industry) and passenger transportation needs to mainly Tehran, Tabriz, Zanjan, Maragheh, and Karaj.[citation needed]
Historical monuments in the city of Mianeh include the Imamzadeh Esmail Mausoleum (Kamaləddin). Nearby monuments include Kiz Castle (also known as Qız Qalası), the Stone Tark Mosque, and the Kiz Bridge (Qız Körpüsü). The Kiz Bridge was partly destroyed in December 1946 by Communist militants of the Azerbaijani Democratic Party advocating for independence to halt the offensive of the Capitalist-supported Imperial Iranian Army.
Mianeh is a touristic city, with roads connecting to all of Iran.[citation needed]
