Kermanshah was founded in the 4th century CE by Bahram IV of the Sassanid dynasty.
Dominated by the Arabs in 640, it was called Qirmasin (Qirmashin).
Under the Seljuk rule in the 11th century, it was the primary town of Kordestan.
The Safavids (ruled 1501-- 1736) fortified the town, and the Qajars repulsed an attack by the Turks during Fath Ali Shahs rule (1797-- 1834).
Inhabited by the Turkish army in 1915 throughout World War I, it was evacuated in 1917.
The construction of a road in the 1950s over the olden Khorasan track added substantially to the value of the city.Having a luxurious traveler circuit with 26 UNESCO World Heritage sites, of which the large Hyrcanian Forest and Lut Desert are amongst the natural homes, Iran seeks to acquire a higher share of the worldwide tourism market by 2025.
