Maragheh is an ancient city encompassed by a high wall ruined in many places, and has four gates. Two stone bridges in good condition are said to have been constructed during the reign of Hulaku Khan (1217-1265), who made Maragheh the capital of the Ilkhanate. On a hill west of the town are the remains of the famous Maragheh observatory called Rasad Khaneh, constructed under the direction the Ilkhanid king, Hülagü Khan for Nasir al-Din al-Tusi. The building, which no doubt served as a citadel as well, enclosed a space of 340 by 135 meters. Марага — древний город, но точное время его основания не установлено. После ближневосточного похода Хулагу (1256—1260) и основания им нового государства, Марага некоторое время была столицей Хулагуидов. В 1259 году под руководством Насир ад-Дина ат-Туси здесь было начато строительство Марагинской обсерватории, ставшей крупнейшей астрономической обсерваторией своего времени. Мераге
