'''Paveh''' ({{lang-ku|Pawe}}, {{lang-fa|Pāwe}}, also [[Romanize]]d as '''Pāveh''', '''Pawah''', and '''Pāweh''')<ref>{{GEOnet3|-3078102}}</ref> is a small town in and the capital of [[Paveh County]], [[Kermanshah Province]], [[Iran]]. |
|||
==History== |
|||
An old myth regarding the name of the city is that the Emperor [[Yazdgerd III]] sent his son named Pav to this area to renew his religious [[Zoroastrian]] faith. Both [[Persia]]ns and the local [[Kurdish people|Kurdish]] inhabitants practiced Zoroastrianism during the Persian Empire's [[Sasanian]] era from which this myth is derived. |
|||
== Geography == |
|||
=== Location, topography === |
|||
Paveh is located in the west of [[Iran]] and is 112 km far from [[Kermanshah]] and lies in a sub-region along the Iran-Iraq border commonly referred to as [[Hewraman]] situated within the larger geographical region of [[Kurdistan]]. The city is considered by inhabitants of the region as the capital of the Hewraman. The inhabitants of Paveh are mostly Kurds that speak [[Auramani]] (also:[[Hewrami]]). |
|||
=== Climate === |
|||
As a mountainous town, Paveh has cold winters and cool springs. The surrounding mountains are normally filled with fresh spring water from March to June. The town is also encircled with large fruit gardens which create a beautiful scenery during summers. Paveh is situated along a mountainside like most cities and villages in the [[Hewraman]] region. Behind the city is Shaho mountain and ahead of the city is a view of Atashgah, another mountain that was once the site of pilgrimages for ancient religions in the region. Among the most significant places to visit is the Quri Qaleh cave which is considered as the longest watery cave in the Middle East. The cave is located around 25 Kilometers from Paveh's town center. |
|||
==Demographics== |
|||
At the 2011 census, its population was 23,704, in 6,723 families.<ref>{{cite web|title=Kermanshah Census|url=http://www.amar.org.ir/Portals/0/sarshomari90/Files/ABADY-90/os05.xls|website=http://www.amar.org.ir/Default.aspx?tabid=1603|publisher=Statistical Centre of Iran|accessdate=4 February 2015}}</ref> |

==Landmarks== |
|||
===Rivers=== |
|||
[[Diyala River|Sirwan River]] is one of the biggest rivers in Paweh. It rises near [[Sanandaj]], in the [[Zagros Mountains]] of Iran. It then descends through the mountains, where for some 32 km it forms the border between the two countries. It finally feeds into the Tigris below [[Baghdad]]. Navigation of the upper reaches of the Diyala is not possible because of its narrow [[defile (geography)|defile]]s, but the river's valley provides an important trade route between Iran and Iraq. |
|||
=== Mountains === |
|||
Paweh is established among mountains on [[Zagros Mountains]]. The mountain chain of Shaho is located in the west of Paweh. Shaho is the highest mountain in [[Kermanshah]] with the elevation of 3390.<ref>{{cite web|title=Shaho Mountain|url=http://www.mountain-forecast.com/peaks/Shaho|website=http://www.mountain-forecast.com/peaks/Shaho|accessdate=4 February 2015}}</ref> |
