    I visited about two months ago. I suggest to come here on non-holiday days so that you can easily have more joy and get better explanations from the leader. If you live in temperate and almost cold regions, don't go to Kashan in the middle of spring and summer! The best time is early spring.

    An old carpet merchant’s house in Kashan more akin to a palace. The huge house is built with many courtyards and rooms and is a joy to wander through. Well worth doing if in the city of Kashan.

    This is one of the most beautiful historical palaces in Iran. everything about this place is perfect. the design, the attention to detail, and the style of making the structure and plan of the house. every inch of this house is representing the pure Persian architectural style that was mixed with Persian culture and art.

    Classic and soothing! Maybe you already visited many beautiful traditional houses in Iran. But this one could represent modest and sweet Kashani style. The whole yard is quite big and has several suites and sub-yards, don’t miss out.

    The Tabātabāei House is a historical house and museum in Kashan, Iran. It built around 200 years ago. It covers nearly 5,000 square meters and includes 40 rooms, 4 courtyards, 4basements, three windcatchers, and gardens. One of the courtyard was for him and his wife, the second courtyard was for his daughters and the third courtyard was for his sons and the fourth courtyard was for his guests. He could check all of these yards from his office room,because he worked at home sometimes.

    I visited Tabatabaee house, also known as Khaneh Tabatabaeiha, in kashan last month. The house is a masterpiece of traditional Persian architecture and a symbol of the culture and art of the Qajar era. The house was built in the 19th century by a wealthy carpet merchant named Seyyed Jafar Tabatabaee, and it covers an area of about 5,000 square meters. The house has four courtyards, each with a different function and style. The main courtyard is the largest and the most elegant, with a pool, a fountain, and a pavilion. The other courtyards are used for guests, servants, and stables. The house has 40 rooms, each with a unique design and decoration. The house features exquisite elements such as stained glass windows, mirror work, plasterwork, paintings, and woodcarvings. The house is a must-see attraction for anyone who is interested in the history and culture of Iran. The house showcases the lifestyle and taste of the wealthy class of the Qajar period, as well as the skill and creativity of the craftsmen who built it. The house is open every day from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, and the entrance fee is 200,000 rials. You can also hire a guide or use an audio guide to learn more about the details and stories of the house.

    The Tabatabaei house is the bride of the houses of Iran. Its flawless architecture and superbly beautiful appearance have brought it a reputation for it.

    A thoughtfully designed old dwelling, everything is designed according to season, sunlight and weather. Looked ordinary from the outside but it feels like entering a jewellery box once you get in- rubies, emeralds sapphires in the hallways; pretty aquamarine coloured fountain; silver and diamonds in the mirror hall. You’ll get lost in time travelling through hallways, trying to see 40 rooms and all the gardens. 80 for entry is really worth it

    The Tabatabaei Historical House in Kashan is very beautiful. The house has been renovated very well. The servants even had their own garden.

  • 4/5 Nikolai Vedeler A. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful historical house in Kashan. There is not a lot of information avaliable if you go without a guide. Entry fee was 500 000 rial in May 2022.

    This palace is an old carpet merchant's house, it's really grand and beautiful. Unfortunately because I went on a Friday, this place was packed with tourists. I'd recommend going on a weekday so that it's easier to explore the different rooms.

    This is an old house. It was very, very old, modern in its time And now it is so beautiful, it is strange for you that it is cold in this hot weather. There are not many animals here except for beautiful landscapes and beautiful paintings There are many animals there.

👍 very old and quaint place to buy and sell antic stuff. all the few stores sell antic things which are at least for 500 years ago. there are some seats to rest and visit or take photos from beautiful artistic paints on the wall and ceiling. the doors are open at 10 and closed at 5 p.m. take your time...
