Golpayegan District is in the
north of Isfahan Province close to the Southern
edge of Arak Province. Golpayegan is also a town
near Viss and they both produce the same sorts of
carpet. Located 90 miles (145 km) northwest of
Isfahan it is a small regional market center of
just over 35,000 people. The carpets of the
region tend to be like coarse Arak rugs but tend
to be thick well made rugs with good wool.
