Kashan ( , Kāshān) is a city in and the capital of Kashan County, in the province of Isfahan, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 248,789, in 67,464 families.

The etymology of the city name comes from Kasian, the original inhabitants of the city, whose remains are found at Tapeh Sialk dating back 9,000 years; later this changed to Kashian, whence the town name. The Persian word Kashi, which translates into the English word "tile". Kashan is the first of the large oases along the Qom-Kerman road which runs along the edge of the central deserts of Iran. Its charm is thus mainly due to the contrast between the parched immensities of the deserts and the greenery of the well-tended oasis.

Needless to say that Iran isn't used to have young people from the West in their midst. Trying to find some rest in a beautiful park in Kashan therefore turns out into a meet and greet.

Kashan (en persan : ÙاشاÙ) est une ville d'Iran située entre Téhéran et Ispahan. Elle fut renommée au Moyen Ãge pour ses ateliers de céramique. En effet, le nom de la ville trouve son origine dans le nom persan désignant le carreau de céramique, kashi. Kashan est la première des larges oasis le long de la route entre Qom et Kerman le long des déserts dans le centre de l'Iran. Son charme est donc principalement dû au contraste entre les immensités des déserts et la verdure des oasis bien entretenues. Le sultan Malik Shah Ier de la dynastie seldjoukide y fit construire une forteresse au XIe siècle. Les murs de cette dernière sont encore visibles aujourd'hui au centre de la ville. Le célèbre jardin Bagh-e Fin, où le chancellier de Nasseredin Shah, Amir Kabir fut assassiné en 1852 se trouve à Kashan. L'astronome al-Kachi qui travailla avec le prince-astronome Oulough Beg à Samarcande au XIVe siècle était originaire de cette ville. Kashan a subi un tremblement de terre en 1778. Kashan is a city in the province of Isfahan, Iran. It had an estimated population of 272359 in 2005 [1]. The etymology of the city name comes from the Persian word Kashi, which translates into the English word tile. Kashan is the first of the large oases along the Qom-Kerman road which runs along the edge of the central deserts of Iran.
