A Relaxing Afternoon in a Persian Mansion ๐กโจ
๐ Kashan, Iran The Tabatabaei House is a traditional aristocratic mansion built in the 19th century during the Qajar dynasty. ๐ฐ This iconic building features intricate stone carvings and mirror decorations, especially on the ceilings of the living and reception rooms, blending Persian traditional aesthetics. The mansion includes four courtyards, over 40 rooms, and several underground storage areas. ๐ฟ The windows are adorned with colorful stained glass, particularly in the main halls. When sunlight shines through, it creates a kaleidoscope of colors inside the rooms. ๐ This design not only adds beauty but also helps keep the rooms cool by controlling light and heat. โ๏ธโ๏ธ Located in the dry and hot region of Kashan, the Tabatabaei House is equipped with multiple wind towers for natural ventilation and cooling. ๐ฌ๏ธ These towers guide airflow, bringing cool breezes into the mansionโa classic example of eco-friendly Persian architecture. ๐ After exploring for two hours, I realized this is the perfect place to relax and spend a quiet afternoon. ๐งโโ๏ธ At the entrance, a young craftsman was creating tin art, meticulously cutting, carving, and embedding tin sheets into wood or metal surfaces to form exquisite patterns. ๐จ The process is complex and time-consuming, requiring hours of hammering and carving. ๐ ๏ธ #Iran ๐ฎ๐ท #HiddenTravelGems ๐ #Travel โ๏ธ #TravelMoments ๐ธ #LifeIsAnAdventure ๐ #ArchitecturalDesign ๐๏ธ #MiddleEast ๐ #GrowWithXiaohongshu ๐ #UniqueTravelSpots ๐
