Kashan is a small city in the Isfahan province, it can not be compared to the great city of Isfahan, there are more than 6,000 registered national monuments in the city of Isfahan, the city which was the capital of some different empires about 1,000 years.

erbse October 30th, 2011, 06:04 PM Such a gorgeous place.
But please credit the sources of the photos you post! Check this! (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/announcement.php?f=440&a=802)
Unbelievable to see people are still unable to do that, esp. people being registered here for more than 5 years. :ohno:

Almost all of these photos have been uploaded to my own website (allempires.com), my hard disk is full of them.

Very nice

great pics
damet garm
but "turkish bath" ?
its a traditional persian bath, which is very similar to a turkish hammam yes,if not they are the exact same
but there are many of these in iran and are also a traditional element of iran, therefore calling them turkish is quite demeaning

It can be true to say these baths originated in Iran but during the Turkish rule, they certainly differ from the ancient Persian baths, like Bokan Bath (http://www.panoramio.com/user/2401375/tags/%D8%AD%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%85%20%D8%A8%DA%A9%D8%A7%D9%86), these are a mixture of Persian, Roman and Turkish architecture, anyway are known as Turkish baths.
Ribarca November 3rd, 2011, 04:50 AM Beautiful architecture! It all looks pristine. Has many structures been restored in recent times?

Yes, this pic shows before and after the restoration of one of these houses: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-X01dbj4CDpE/Tj6K7po7FeI/AAAAAAAAAUU/mu_lw2s1Nrc/1.jpg Some parts of these houses were even excavated from the underground.
