Discover Urmia and Hamadan
Urmia was home to Aramaic speaking Jews who referred to themselves as Nash-Didan. Some graves and tombstones are still extant. The wall around the cemetery was built a few years ago by a local family. Urmia also had three synagogues, (one of which was the Kalimiyan Synagogue) and an Etihad (later Kalimiyan) school.
