Qasr-e Shirin
Qasr-e Shirin (Persian: قصرشيرين, lit. 'Shirin's Palace') is a city in the Central District of Qasr-e Shirin County, Kermanshah province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district. Its population in 2016 was 18,473. It is a Free-trade zone (FTZ) and is populated by Kurds.
The city is named after Shirin, the Christian wife of the Sasanian King of Kings (shahanshah) Khosrow II (r. 590–628).
Historical and literary works attribute the building of the city to Khosrow Parviz of the Sassanids.
Qasr-e-Shirin was a small town until 1270 AD. During World War I, it served as a border town for both German and Ottoman soldiers, as well as English and Russian soldiers. Qasr-e Shirin underwent destruction during the Iran-Iraq war but was later restored following the war's end. Currently, the city has undergone significant expansion and transformed into an expansive region.
In 1992, the postwar reconstruction process began.
In June 2006, archaeological excavations in Shirin's castle resulted in the discovery of the dais of the castle which had been used as the seat of the king. The establishment of Qasr-e Shirin free trade-industrial zone was approved on 5 May 2021.
The linguistic composition of the city:
At the time of the 2006 National Census, the city's population was 15,437 in 3,893 households. The following census in 2011 counted 17,959 people in 4,751 households. The 2016 census measured the population of the city as 18,473 people in 5,473 households.
