Fin Garden - Kashan

Posted by M.Fakhar (Kashan, Iran) on 11 July 2009 in Architecture.

The origins of the garden may be anterior to the Safavid period, some sources indicate that the garden has been relocated from another place, but no clear picture of it has been found[1].

The settlements of the garden in its present form was built under the reign of Abbas I of Persia (1571-1629), as a traditional bagh near the village of Fin, located a few miles southwest of Kashan[2].
The garden has been developed further during the Safavid dynasty, until Abbas II of Persia (1633-1666). It was highly recognized during the reign of Fat′h Ali Shah Qajar and has been considerably expanded.
