Rasulollah Spring, Eqlid

🧭What kind of place is it?

The spring is in the summer uplands of Eqlid, and the land around it is used for outings. Nearby are the springs of Chal-e Babashah and Kashkuk. South of the spring rises a rocky hill with traces of stone cutting on it.

🏛️What was it built for?

The spring water irrigates fields that grow vegetables, and a picnic area has been built beside it. Here you see both the town's farmland and a ground the people of Eqlid know as a place to walk and rest.

👀What you will see

• The spring sits beside the town's fields, and its water reaches the vegetable plots.
• The walnut orchards around it form part of the green space of this edge-of-town area.
• On the rocky hill south of the spring are several groups of hollows carved into the stone, called jowqan.
• An artificial lake has been built on the hill, and an old lenj, a wooden boat, has been placed on the same ground.

💡Something interesting

Locals know the stone marks on the hill as Sang-e Doldol and hold religious beliefs about them. A story about the spring's name links it to a stop by the caravan of Imam Reza in this area. The lenj was brought here after Eqlid became a sister city of the port of Kong.

🎒Good to know before you go

• Don't touch the stone hollows on the hill or put anything in them; they are part of the site's historic remains.
