Fin Garden, the oldest garden in Iran

Fin Garden in Kashan is a historic garden built during the Safavid Dynasty (16th century) and is the oldest surviving garden in Iran. It was declared a World Heritage Site in 2012, which is the best testament to its unique charm!🎉 This is a typical Persian garden, surrounded by walls and towers. The central courtyard is planted with various plants and features a variety of pools and fountains. The water source comes entirely from the Suleimaniyeh Spring. The Fin Garden follows a symmetrical structure, with the spring canal as the central axis and all pavilions built symmetrically. It is worth noting that this area is arid, with scarce water resources and trees. Building such a magnificent garden here is a testament to the wealth of the Persian Empire at that time.🌍 The most famous building in Fin Garden is the Kashani Pavilion, which is the essence of the entire garden. Located on the southwest side of the garden, the pavilion's ceiling features exquisite narrative, landscape murals, and colorful decorative paintings. Water flows into the pool from three sides and then into the garden through canals. There is still a wishing pool in the pavilion. If you can throw a coin into the hole in the middle of the pool, your wish can come true.✨ In Fin Garden, there is also a royal bathhouse, which was a "standard feature" of ancient Persian gardens. It was not only used for bathing but also provided medical services such as bloodletting and bone-setting, and some even had entertainment functions.🛀 Fin Garden had once suffered severe neglect and destruction, and it was not until 1935 that it was restored. Now, it has regained its charming splendor, attracting visitors from all over the world to admire its beauty.🌟 #Iran #IranTravel #SeeTheWorld #WorldHeritage #PersianGarden #FinGarden #Kashan #PersianBathhouse
