Kermanshah City, one of the oldest cities in Iran
Kermanshah, also known as Kermānshāhān, is the capital of Kermanshah Province. “Kermanshah” derives from the Sasanian-era title Kirmanshah, which translates as “King of Kerman”. Famously, this title was held by the son of Shapur III, Prince Bahram, who was bestowed with the title upon being appointed governor of the province of Kirman (present-day Kerman Province).
Because of its antiquity, attractive landscapes, rich culture and Neolithic villages, Kermanshah is considered one of the cradles of prehistoric cultures. According to archaeological surveys and excavation, the Kermanshah area has been occupied by prehistoric people since the Lower Paleolithic period, and continued to later Paleolithic periods till late Pleistocene period.
