Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DAH-DEM
DAMGHAN , a town of Persia in the province of Semnan va Damghan, 216 m. from
Teheran
  on the high-road thence to Khorasan, at an
elevation
  of 3770 ft. and in 36 1o' N., 54 20' E. Pop. about ro,000. There are post and telegraph offices, and a
great
  export trade is done in pistachios and almonds, the latter being of the kind called Kaghazi (" of
paper
  ") with very thin shells, famous throughout the country. Damghan was an important city in the middle ages, but only a ruined mosque with a number of massive columns and some fine
wood
  carvings and two minarets of the rrth century remain of that period. Near the city, a few miles south and south-west, are the remains of Hecatompylos, extending from Frat, 16 m. south of Damghan, to near G{lsheh, 20 m. west. Damghan was destroyed by the Afghans in 1723. On an eminence in the western part of the city are the ruins of a large square citadel with a small white-washed building, called Molud Khaneh (the
house
  of
birth
 ), in which Fath Ali Shah was born (1772).
