Located
in an altitude of 1,600 m above sea level, Kashan is
one of the main cities of Esfahan province. It is
240 km to the south of Tehran and 220 km to the
north of Esfahan, and can be reached via a
first-class highway, national road, or railway. The
towns population amounts to 400,000, living on an
area of 2, 100 hectares.
In addition to its world-famous carpets, Kashan is
also well known for its silk and the glazed
earthenware tile called kashi after its place of
manufacture. Kashan is a beautiful large oasis town
on the Qum-Kerman road running along the western
edge of the Great Desert, Kevir. The city has long
been noted for its silk textiles, ceramics,
copperware, and rose water from the well-known rose
fields of Qamsar, as well.
One of the most important archaeological sites in
central Iran, it has a historical background of over
7,000 years. Kashan is also of interest for its
connections with Shah Abbas I it was a favourite
town of his, and he beautified it and asked to be
buried here in the mausoleum of a 13th century
ancestor. Walking in the silent and peaceful alleys
and back-alleys of the town, one can see very old
buildings with brick walls constantly baked, as in
old times, under the scorching sun.
Majority of historians and travelers to the town
have called it a gate to the world civilization.
Kashan flourished mainly during the Seljuk and
Safavid periods of the post-Islamic history of Iran.
Samples of art works created by Kashani artisans can
be seen in the famous museums of the world.
The town has many picturesque badgirs (wind towers),
essential in the towns hot and airless summers
before the introduction of air-conditioning. Modern
industry plays a part in Kashan, in parallel with
the ongoing social development. In bazaar, however,
carpet-weaving, embroidery work, the making of rose
water, scent, pottery, and other crafts are carried
on in much the same and with the same skill as of
old.
