Kashan
Kashan كاشان is a town of Iran located between Teheran and Isfahan. It was re-elected with the Moyen-âge for its workshops of Céramique. Indeed, the name of the city finds its origin in the Persan name indicating the ceramics square, kashi . Kashan is the first of the broad oases along the road between Qom and Kerman along the deserts in the center of Iran. Its charm is thus mainly due to contrast between the vastnesses of the deserts and the greenery of the well maintained oases.
The Sultan Malik Shah I {{er}} of the dynasty Seldjoukide made there build a fortress at the 11th century. The walls of the latter are still visible today with the center of the city.
The famous garden Fine Bagh-e, where the chancellor of Nasseredin Shah, Amir Kabir was assassinated in 1852 is in Kashan.
The Astronome Al-Kachi which worked with the prince-astronomer Oulough Beg with Samarkand at the 14th century was originating in this city.
Kashan underwent an earthquake in 1778.
