Fin Garden (Bagh-e Fin)
باغ فین
A representative of the “Persian Gardens” World Heritage site. It is a Safavid-era garden crossed by spring-fed channels, and it is also where the reformist chief minister Amir Kabir was murdered.
Fin Garden lies at the foot of the mountains about 6 km southwest of Kashan. It was founded in the late 16th century under Shah Abbas I. It is one of the oldest complete Persian gardens surviving in Iran, and it was inscribed in 2011 as part of the “Persian Gardens” World Heritage site. Water from the Soleimani Spring flows through turquoise channels, fountains and pools among the cypress trees, forming the classic layout of a “heavenly garden.” The garden contains Safavid and Qajar-era pavilions and a museum. It also includes the Fin Bath, where the reformist chief minister Amir Kabir was murdered in 1852. Foreign visitors pay higher ticket prices than local visitors; check the price on site. A taxi from the city centre takes about 15 minutes.
