Kashan's Fin Bath, located in Kashan, Iran is well known for being the place where Amir Kabir was murdered. This bathhouse has many interesting architectural design properties; one of which is its heating, which can be accomplished with only one heat candle.

Fin Garden is a Palace that combines the architectural features of Safavid, Zand and Qajar periods. It counts among the most beautiful ancient parks of Iran as regards its location, bountiful natural fountains called Solomon, numerous old trees, pools and stream of water.

Kashan Museum was erected in the western part of Fin Garden, upon the order of the late Seyed Mohammad Taqi Mostafavi, former Director General of the Archeological Department.

Kashan's water-supply comes from a system of qanats which converge up on the oasis. But the city also benefits from the presence of nearby of an abundant spring which enabled King Shah Abbas the Great to create a blooming garden in the suburb of Fin (6 km south). Bagh-e Fin has its poetic appeal and gardeners are attempting to restore the luxuriance of flower-beds overlooked by century-old cypress-trees.

Dear Hamid.
Love the symetrical balance of water captured which is well complimented by the shady trees.
Well done.
