Iranian Tomb Gardens: The Architecture of Memory When a Tomb Becomes a Garden

Ilam: A City Embraced by the Zagros—Vernacular Stone Architecture in Western Iran

The story of Ilam begins with its name, adopted in 1936 in reference to the ancient Elamite civilization, one of the earliest civilizations of the Iranian Plateau. Parts of present-day Ilam Province were historically associated with the territory of Elam, a civilization that emerged during the third millennium BCE, with cultural antecedents extending into the fourth millennium BCE, and continued into the sixth century BCE. One of its principal capitals, Susa, was located in what is now the neighboring province of Khuzestan. Although the modern city of Ilam is relatively recent, having largely taken shape during the Qajar period and developed further under the Pahlavi dynasty, the surrounding area is rich in archaeological remains dating back to the Elamite, Achaemenid, Parthian, and Sasanian periods. Throughout history, Ilam’s rugged mountainous terrain and location amid the towering Zagros Mountains have contributed to its relative geographical isolation and limited accessibility. This geographical isolation has played a significant role in preserving its indigenous traditions, nomadic culture, local languages, and vernacular architecture, making Ilam a region where distinctive cultural traditions and ways of life have endured over time.
