Mojarshin Village

Mojarshin village, known locally as "Mirzanshin", is located in Gonbarf Rural District, in the Central District of Osku County, East Azerbaijan Province. The village lies about 65 kilometres southwest of Tabriz, on the slopes of the Urian Dagh mountains. It has a population of about 1,300 and, thanks to its mountain setting and terraced houses, is regarded as one of the most picturesque and historic villages in the region.

As a historic village, Mojarshin is a treasure trove of ancient remains and natural attractions. The village's historic cemetery, with gravestones inscribed in Arabic, shows how widespread the Arabic script was in the Islamic era. The rock-cut houses, known as "Bushlar", carved into the heart of the mountains, are an example of traditional architecture and of life lived in harmony with nature. The Mojarshin Rock Mosque is another of the village's historic monuments and is registered as one of Iran's national heritage sites. The village's lush, unspoiled nature, with its walnut trees and numerous springs, offers visitors a natural attraction, especially in spring and summer.
