Kashan

Travel Guide

A traditional bath house - hamam. It reveals the different stages of bathing here, from dressing rooms to social gathering rooms. Needless to say, these hamams were used by men only. Ladies had their own, separate bath houses
Tabatabei Traditional House is an amazing old and obviously very wealthy merchant's house with intriguing architecture, countless rooms and several courtyards. Be prepared to spend a minimum of one hour at this mind-boggling place.
A small but beautiful mosque in this very nice city in between Tehran and Esfahan
The city of Kashan, south of Tehran. There are some very unusual old buildings there. This is an old hamam.
March 2009 Agha Bozorg mosque This mosque and madrasah was built in late 18th century for Mullah Mahdi Narakhi called Agha Bozorg, hence the name of it. It has two courtyards, one sunken (not in picture) where a water pool and student rooms are located. In north of the ground level there is a fine dome with 2 pinnacles for calling to prayers and a prayer space (shabestan). Built of bricks and decent tiles it is another marvel in the historical part of Kashan town.
