Anbaran county is located in 40 km from Ardebil city , opposite sabalan Mountain. Anbaran is a picturesque, good climate region and included favorable natural position.
A huge anthropoid statue made of stone has been discovered on a hill overlooking Anbaran village in the city of Namin, Ardebil province in northwest Iran, by an Iranian geographer.
The statue, 20 meters high and six meters wide, was found in an area 40 km from the provincial capital city of Ardebil at the top of a 100-meter high hill.
Residents of Anbaran village call the statue 'baba davood' and entertain the belief that a shrine, built in the area surrounding the statue, has been destroyed with the lapse of time.
There is also another huge statue-menhir in Shahr Yeri in Ardebil province.
