Senna or Sanandaj - Capital of Kurdistan province, Iran
|
|
The capital of the craggy mountainous province of Kurdistan was built on the site of the old Sinneh which was the capital of Kurdistan Province in the Middle Ages. It was also the site of a fortress built by the Abbasid Caliph Amin, but there does not appear to be anything left of old Senna/Sanandaj. A strongly tradition conscious people, the Kurds are fierce fighters and have bravely guarded Iran's western borders throughout its long history. In typical fashion they resisted the advance of Alexander, and centuries later, the Arabs. The Mongols proved to be a far more tenacious enemy but the Kurds nevertheless managed to inflict heavy casualties on Hulagu Khan's forces.
Today, Senna/Sanandaj is a busy town of mainly Kurdish inhabitants and a center for the region's trade in agricultural produce as well as local crafts including the famous Senneh klims. Sites of interest include the Masjid-e- Jame, dating back from 1813, with attractive Qajar tilework, the Senna/Sanandaj Musuem, displaying artifacts found in the province's excavation Sites, and a very colorful bazaar -selling the glittering cloths and tribal costumes of the `Kurdish people.
