Kermanshah is one of the capital cities in west-Iran and home to part of the Iranian-Kurd community. Even though it was one of the first civilization regions of humans, Kermanshah developed mostly after becoming the second capital of the Sassanid Empire.
Taq-e Bostan, the Sassanid bas-reliefs of the crowning ceremony of Ardashir II and also Anahita Temple, which is a temple to worship the goddess of water, are proof of the importance of Kermanshah city since about 15 hundred years ago.
When Iranians converted to Islam, other beautiful attractions were constructed in Kermanshah, such as Tekyeh- Moaven al-Molk, Jameh mosque of Shafei, Tekyeh Biglarbeygi.
