Qashan

Qashan (Tatar: Кашан, romanized: Qaşan) was a medieval city in Volga Bulgaria, on the right bank of Kama river from the 12th to the 15th century.

History

In the 12th and 13th centuries, it was one of the administrative and political centres of the Lower Kama region of Volga Bulgaria.

In the 14th century it became a capital of the Qashan Duchy. In 1391, it was destroyed by the ushkuiniki, Russian river pirates, and finally in 1399 by Muscovite troops.

The ruins are situated near the present-day village of Shuran in Laishevsky District of Tatarstan.
