Out of respect towards famous individuals, the city officials have placed the statues of writers, poets, athletes and prominent figures in special squares and places in the city. Due to the presence of these sculptures in the city, Sanandaj is known as the “City of a Thousand Bodies” or “City of Sculptures”.
