Zanjan ( Persian زنجان Zanjān , DMG Zanǧān , also Sendschan ) is a city in the north-west of Iran with almost 400,000 inhabitants (as of 2010). It is the seat of the administration of the Zanjan province and is located 298 km northwest of Tehran .
From May 1850 to January 1851, Zanjan was the center of a Baba uprising in which, among other things, attempts were made to storm the local prison in order to free prisoners who were incarcerated for tax evasion.
In the last days of the Mohammad Reza Pahlavis regime , the traders in the Zanjan bazaar shut down operations for 45 days in protest against the lack of promised reforms.
