This town is situated at the middle of Zagros mountainous chain at the centre of one ancient route which reached from Xuzestan plain to the central plateau of Iran by Isfahan. As Izeh has two different climatic sorts; cold at the North and warm at the South; and because of the shortage of agricultural fields also based on it’s suitable environment for animal husbandry, one special immigrant group that known as Baxtiari Tribes, has formed it’s main dwellings since early times. These tribes used Izeh as a liberal land for feeding their animal flocks through moving toward the North and South.
The first traveller who has mentioned in his notes to ancient monuments of Izeh is English A.H. Layard. When Layard at 1841-1842 came to this region, Mohammad-Taqi Xan-e-Chaharlang were preparing a group of Baxtiari armies which was one of the great dangers for the central power of Qajars at Tehran , but opposed these difficulties.
