Soltanieh, one of the important communication paths and at the same time one
of the centers of political and civilization of Iran has seen many historical
developments. One of these major developments was the Mongol invasion of
Iran and the Ilkhanid era. One of the important consequences of the invasion
and domination of the Mongols in this part of Iran was the widespread change
in the structure of the city and urbanization which turned Soltanieh into one of
the major political-cultural centers in Iran. The Mongol sultans, after settling in
Iran and choosing the Tabriz as their capital, occasionally passed from Soltaniyah
during hunts, summer tripes, and while passing through Iraq to Azerbaijan or
vice versa, and spend their summer breaks there, in tents. Hence the name
Qonqor Ulang or Iqer Olen (Meadow or hawk hunting ground). Arghun founded
the city of Soltanieh in this place, the continuation of the building by Sultan
Mohammad Khodabandeh led to the emergence of Soltanieh and its
commercial political dynamics. Considering the vital role of the city in the
coherence and order of the social life, it is argued that how much of the
functioning of the city of Soltanieh in the political and economic structure of the
Ilkhan government has been affected by its geographical location? How much
construction of this city was affected by the recognition and analysis of the
interrelationship between Soltanieh's geographical and climatic location and the
political and economic objectives of the Ilkhanah and the role of these
components? This paper seeks to provide a clearer explanation of the political
and economic causes of the emergence of Soltanieh, with a descriptiveanalytical approach and through analyzing the knowledge in hand |
