Farzian (Persian: فرزيان)[a] is a village in Japelaq-e Sharqi Rural District[3] of Japelaq District in Azna County, Lorestan province, Iran.

History

The site now occupied by Farzian is believed to have been the site of the city of Gabai (گابایی). The fact that this city shared its name with another in Sogdia serves as evidence for the migration of Aryans into Iran from the Central Asians Plains.

From the 12th to the 16th centuries AD, the most significant site in the Japelaq region was Farzian Castle, a stronghold built by Al-Ajl which often served as a refuge for rebels.

Until the 1970s, Farzian was a popular destination for tourists on account of its beautiful pine groves, vineyards and gardens. However, these were destroyed in droughts following the construction of dams.
