Rafsanjan
|
Rafsanjan (Persian: رفسنجان) is a city in Iran, in the province of Kerman. It is Iran's center of pistachio cultivation.
Rafsanjan is also a major center of carpet production even though the rugs are sold as Kermani rugs rather than Rafsanjani ones. Another large employer are the nearby Sar Cheshmeh copper mines.
Former President of Iran Hashemi Rafsanjani was born in Rafsanjan.
