Qarnabad

Qarnabad is a historical village located in the Ardabil Province of Iran, specifically in the Meshginshahr County. Its significance stems primarily from its ancient cemetery, which contains a collection of stone sculptures depicting human figures. These sculptures, some dating back to the early Islamic period, provide valuable insights into the artistic traditions and funerary practices of the region during that time. The Qarnabad cemetery is considered an important archaeological site, attracting researchers and tourists interested in the history and culture of northwestern Iran. While the village itself may not be widely known outside of Iran, its cemetery has placed it on the map as a site of historical and artistic interest. The study of the sculptures continues to contribute to a deeper understanding of the cultural landscape of the Ardabil Province and its connections to broader regional trends.
