The city of herat in islamic civilisation (According to scientific and cultural)

Herat, located in the northwest of Afghanistan, is one of the oldest cities in the world and capital of the country. The city of Herat, which is currently the regional capital of western Afghanistan, has strategic, commercial and cultural importance for a wider region. Although, the city has been extensively developed in modern times and is faced with the hardship of conflict, the site is a unique place where it has preserved its historical footprint and has many important Islamic monuments. The Herat region roughly constitutes one third of the western plains of Afghanistan and has a border with Iran and extends to the east of the Khorasan province. The city of Herat consists of an old and old town surrounded by a partially preserved exterior wall. The old town, which is almost square to the plan, is divided into four neighborhoods created at the gates of the old city. Since the early ages, this geography has been a site where many different tribes and ethnic groups have lived because it has been a buffer zone. The region has been home to a wide range of cultures, religions and civilizations thanks to its strategic location. Accordingly, almost all of the region, especially the city of Herat has been equipped with religious structures, scientists, intellectuals, poets, craftsmen and it has been also a place kneaded with religious scholaras. Herat is still the center of attraction today and it continues to bear significant traces of Islamic civilization.
