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.
