Taleqan (Persian: طالقان, also Romanized as Ṭâleqân)[3] is a city in the Central District of Taleqan County, Alborz province, Iran, and serves as capital of the district and the county. It also serves as the administrative center for Miyan Taleqan Rural District.[4] Taleqan is located in the Alborz mountain range.
