Visit To Kashan in Iran

There are many sites and places to see and visit in Kashan of potential interest to tourism to Iran.

 

The bazaar of Kashan is one of the most beautiful in Iran. It has many other interesting buildings inside it, like mosques, caravanserais, water storages and of course the fantastic mill.

The Borujerdis Old House is a 19th century merchant house. The building itself is a masterpiece and so are the paintings inside by the famous Iranian painter Kamal ol-Molk., towers designed to lead the high winds to street level, thus keeping the temperature low: very useful in the hot desert.

The famous rose fields of Qamsar are near to Kashan, so you'll see rosewater stalls everywhere.  For tourist to Iran, there is one of the stalls, just outside of the Fin gardens. Rosewater is used in a lot of Iranian desserts, but the spaghetti-like ice cream is our favorite.

The Fin gardens are one of the highlights of Kashan. This garden, with pools and fountains among fruit trees, has a wonderful lazy atmosphere. The fountains get their water from a natural spring. After flowing through the gardens, the water is used as drinking water.

Agha Bozorg Mosque.

Boroujerdi ha Residence.
