16th century map of Hamadan

According to an inscription from the first Assyrian king, Hamadan's construction is dated at 1100 BC, but some historians believe it dates back to 3000 BC.Hamadan was established by the Medes and was the capital of the Median empire.It then became one of several capital cities of the Achaemenid Dynasty.

Conform unei inscripţii din timpul primului rege Asirian, întemeierea Hamadanului ar fi avut loc în anul 1100 î.Hr. dar unii istorici o consideră pe la 3000 î.Hr.Hamadan a fost construit de mezi şi a fost capitala Imperiului lor (Ecbatana). Oraşul a devenit apoi una dintre capitalele dinastiei Ahemenide.

In the modern Hamadan that is built on the plans prepared by the German architect Karl Fritsch, nothing is left to be seen of ancient Ecbatana of the Medes' capital before they formed a union with the Persians. It was the residence of Achaemenian Kings, and the summer resort of the Parthian and Sassanian dynasties due to its strategic vicinity to Ctesiphon.

În Hamadanul modern, construit după planurile arhitectului german Karl Fritsch, nimic nu mai aminteşte de antica Ecbatana, capitala mezilor înainte de a se uni cu perşii. Ecbatana a fost oraşul de scaun al regilor Ahemenizi şi reşedinţă de vară în timpul dinastiilor partă şi sasanidă, datorită poziţiei strategice în apropierea oraşului Ctesifon (Ctesiphon).
