Zanjan is the capital of Zanjan Province in Iranian Azerbaijan. It lies 298 km (185 mi) north-west of Tehran on the main highway to Tabriz and Turkey and approximately 125 km (78 mi) from the Caspian Sea. The city is located about 20 kilometers south of the Qaflankuh Mountain Range. At the 2016 census, its population was 433,475 which is the 20th
largest city in Iran. The population of Zanjan consists mostly of Iranian Azerbaijanis who speak Azerbaijani language. Zanjan is 21733 square kilometers.



Zanjan is known for its beautiful handcrafts such as knives, traditional sandals, called charoogh, and malileh, a handcraft made with silver
wires. Most famous things are knives,clodhopper, filigree and gilding. Copper smiting  ,rug weaving and carpet weaving. Zanjani artists make many things like various decorative dishes and their special covers as well as silver jewelry. In ancient times,
Zanjan was known for its stainless and sharp knives. But this tradition
is gradually becoming extinct by introduction of Chinese-made knives
into the market which are far cheaper, more abundant and of course less
artistic.
Many villagers today are traditional carpet weavers, perhaps Zanjans
most popular handcraft.  Zanjans population boasts the highest level of happiness among the people of 30 other provinces in Iran.
