Where is this Bathhouse?
Fin bath is located in Kashan city and in Fin garden. This 23 thousand square meter garden is located near Amir Kabir highway.
What do you know about it?
Fin Kashan bath is located in the southern part of Fin Kashan garden and is one of the most prominent buildings in the garden. This bath is actually two baths, one of which is bigger and more luxurious and was during the reign of Feth Ali Shah Qajar, and it called the big or royal bath. The other bathroom has smaller dimensions and was in the Safavid period and was the small bathroom.
The small bath lost its prosperity and glory with the collapse of the Safavid dynasty, and for this reason, in the Qajar period, Fath Ali Shah ordered the construction of another bath, which was only by the king and officials. The small bathroom was by the crew and common people. Architecturally, both bathrooms are very similar. Only in the treasury of the small bathroom there are 7 tiles dating back to 500 years ago. In addition, the small bath is better because it was the place where the famous Qajar prime minister, Amir Kabir.
Fin Kashan bath architecture
The architecture of both bathrooms is very similar. Both of them have different parts such as greenhouse, fountain, treasury, cleaning place and dressing room. The use of natural and efficient materials such as sand, lime and mortar in the walls has caused the walls to be waterproof and prevent the waste of heat and energy.
Their piping system is very interesting. For example, with the existence of water channels, the water in the treasury easily changed and clean water always flowed in them. As we said, the components of both bathrooms are very similar, but the large bathroom has a much more beautiful appearance due to its marble columns and painted ceilings, and the moment you enter it, you will captivated by their beautiful paintings and designs.
Inside the Fin Kashan Bath
The large bathroom has two dressing rooms. The first floor is closer to the main entrance and its lighting is done through the mesh windows of the bathroom. In the first dressing room there is a platform and a wall heater. The second dressing room is in the middle part of the bathroom and has a large basin. When they wanted to leave the bathroom, they first went through the second dressing room, warmed themselves by the heater and washed their feet, and then went to the first dressing room and got dressed.
