Shahr-e Rey is the oldest
existing city in the province of Tehran, Iran. The city is estimated to be more
than five thousand years old, and was built during the Median Empire. It was
known in Classical times as Rhagae. Ray is richer than many other ancient cities
in the number of its historical monuments, among which one might refer to the
3000-year-old Gebri castle, the 5000-year-old Cheshmeh Ali hill, the
1000-year-old Bibi Shahr Banoo tomb and Shah Abbasi caravansary. It has been
home to pillars of science like Rhazes.
