History
In the 7th century BC, it was a stronghold of the Medes. During the Parthian era, it was called Saavakineh, and was one of the main hubs of the empire.
In the 11th century, it was a residence of the Daylamites and of the Seljuks. In 1118, a battle occurred in Saveh between Mahmud II and his uncle Sanjar. It was severely damaged by the Mongol invasion in the 13th century; it was restored during the Ilkhanate. Saveh was again sacked by the Timurids but later grew during the Safavids era. In the summer of 1725, the city was besieged and captured by the Afghans after a battle with Tahmasp Mirza. It eventually lost much of its importance when Tehran became the official capital of Iran and, in the mid-19th century, many of the inhabitants moved to Tehran.
