Overview
Ashtian lies in a fertile agricultural district, watered by surface streams and qanats. The region, which traditionally belonged to Tafresh County is a famous one for carpet-weaving. Among its historical monuments is the remains of a fortress and a Safavid era caravanserai.
In the past, a large number of Iranian courtiers and calligraphers were from the Tafresh and Ashtian regions. Several learned men and religious figures have stemmed from Ashtian. The Mostowfi family of Ashtian occupied several roles within the Qajar and Pahlavi administrative system. Abbās Eqbāl Āshtiyāni (Script error: No such module "Lang".), a celebrated Iranian literary figure, and Abdolkarim Gharib, founder of geological research in Iran, were born in Ashtian. Father of Dr Mohammad Gharib, founder of modern Paediatrics in Iran, was also a native of Ashtian.
Ashtian Earth Dam
Ashtian Earth Dam (some locals say: Band-e-Naghi Beyk) at the elevation of 2224m above sea level is one of the tourism attraction areas near the Ashtian City after Kordijan and Hazarabad villages. The amount of water stored has reduced in recent years. In March, it is still cold and the water temperature is about 13 °C. Some interesting birds, foxes, and other species of wildlife, insects, plants, etc., are in this area.
