Kashan City - Iran

Kashan is a historic city in Isfahan. In the 19th century, the Qajar Dynasty had a chancellor who Iranians are very grateful for because he was a genuine patriot. Amir Kabir fought hard to bring reforms to Persia but it eventually cost him his life. He was killed in the bath house you see in the upcoming feature. This incident has added to the historical significance of the Fin Bathhouse which Hoda Lezgee tells you more about on a tour to the city of Kashan.
