Abstract

Tabriz city was especially important as Iran capital during part of Safavid and Ilkhani dynasties history and as the second important city of Iran as well as city of viceroy considering political, economical, social, cultural, as well as architectural aspects, in Iran. Unfortunately, the city structure has been ruined due to natural and artificial events including frequent earthquakes and being at war with adjacent powerful countries. At present, dimensions of Tabriz city during the mentioned specially Ilkhani and SAFAVID ERAs are ambiguous and not completely known. According to historians, the earthquake in1194 AH/ 1780 AD more than others influenced the body of this city. It had such a power that even an inch from the height of the walls was not left. This is perhaps an exaggeration to suggest the extensive damage to the architecture and urban elements of Tabriz throughout the time and especially in the early QAJAR ERA; as a result, there is no accurate information concerning the number, diversity, dispersion and the special relationship between the structural elements of Tabriz in periods before the Qajar. Therefore, the present article aims at evaluating extension pattern of Tabriz during Safavid, Ilkhani and QAJAR ERAs to answer the question of during which era Tabriz was more magnificent and thrived. The question will be answered through renovation and drawing Tabriz boundaries during Safavid, Ilkhani and QAJAR ERAs. We will face many problems in answering the question because there are not many first-hand resources such as buildings and urban spaces left from the era and the documentation will only be based on texts and drawings of tourists. Following books, traveler's logs and documents can be briefly mentioned as written resources, maps and pictorial documents of Ilkhani, Safavid, and QAJAR ERAs. ILKHANI ERA: Travel logs of Marco-Polo, Ibn Batouteh, Hafez Hossein Karbalaei, Clavixo, Hamdollah Mostoufi. SAFAVID ERA: Travel logs of Venicians, Contarini, Alessandri, Wriyht, Tavernier, Olia Chalabi, Sharden, Gemelli Careri, Villote, John Belle, as well as a miniature known as Metraghchi miniature prepared from Tabriz during 1537-38. QAJAR ERA: Travel logs of Piramadeh, Benetan, Morier, Ousely, Flandin, Willson, and historical geography of Meratolbaladan, history and geography of Darolsaltanat, and historical maps of Tabriz.The main objective of the research will be achieved through comparing dimensions of the historical rampart and its role in formation of spatial structure of the city during different eras. However, travelers' logs and drawings prepared by some tourists with different intentions are the only documents regarding approximate dimensions of the Tabriz city. Research results indicate that Tabriz, like other historical cities of Iran, had different sizes and dimensions during different eras. But, the city mostly extended during ILKHANI ERA which is regarded magnificence and thriving era of the city. Additionally, the article emphasizes that, in contrary to general beliefs, ramparts and towers of the city did not indicate maximum EXTENSION OF TABRIZ rather, the rampart was responsible of protecting part of the city during every era and considering political, economical, cultural, and religious conditions.
