Ardebil Province is located in north-west Iran. The province is on a plateau 1,525 m (5,000 ft) above sea level. Because of a healthy climate and warm mineral springs in the vicinity, Ardebil was the favorite home of rulers of Persia. Historical landmarks in the city include the tomb of Esmaeil I, founder of the Safavid dynasty (1502-1736) of Persian kings, and the home (now a Muslim shrine) of the Persian Safieddin.
