A historical mosque in Kashan, Iran. The mosque was built in the late 18th century by master-mimar Ustad Haj Sa'ban-ali, the mosque and theological school (madrasah) is located in the center of Kashan. It was here where Ustad Ali Maryam as a pupil started his career as a brilliant architect.
This is a beautiful structure built with great challenge. The spiritual atmosphere of the building surrounds you right after entering the structure. the adobe and the tile works are phenomenal considering the century it was built. Right across the gate, there is a terrace that sees the main dome. you see the garden of the structure below you which stresses the size of the whole building. loved it!

The bazaar of Kashaan is an old bazaar in the city center. It's thought to have been built in the Seljuk era and renovated during the Safavid period. The bazaar has famous architecture, especially at its Timche-ye Amin od-Dowleh section, where a grand light well was built in the 19th century. The bazaar is a few miles in total length and houses shops, baths, tombs, mosques, arcades, and more.
The old bazaar of Kashan is an old living thing. It is historical and up-to-date at the same time. There are lots of souvenir shops from Persian carpet shop to hand-made pottery and other shops. You can not only buy souvenirs but also can walk and watch the art of Persian masons. The great old bazaar of Kashan is the best place to capture pictures for your Instagram.

Rode our cycles from Kashan to here and it was well worth the rough road and the mad traffic. I believe this was rediscovered only 13 years ago by a man digging in his backyard. You start the tour with a look at big underground cistern and then go one floor of the labyrinth. There are 3 levels and you can see in places down to the other levels but visitors dont go down there. It is pretty busy with a lot of people going through but its possible to have a guide speak to you about the underground city in English. May not suit the claustrophobic but otherwise fascinating!

Yakhchāl is an ancient type of evaporative cooler. Above ground, the structure had a domed shape, but had a subterranean storage space. It was often used to store ice, but sometimes was used to store food as well. The subterranean space coupled with the thick heat-resistant construction material insulated the storage space year round. These structures were mainly built and used in Persia.
