Neighborhoods

=Khamsalu=

A handwritten Koran is preserved in one of the mosques of Khamsalu that was composed on the order of Hajj Reza Ali of the Kalbi family several hundred years ago. The document is unique for recounting in its last pages both the events of the famine days in Iran and for recording the prices of goods at the rates of the time.

=Sang Baran=

As a village, Sang Baran was the capital of Barf Anbar Rural District before Barf Anbar became a municipality. The residents of the village were Armenians in the past, but they migrated to Isfahan and were replaced by Muslims. There are currently three Armenian cemeteries in the Sang Baran neighborhood, each more than 200 years old.
