Located 250 km from Tehran, the city of Kashan is surrounded by a desert landscape. Shah Abbas I of Persia ordered the Fin Garden to be built in 1587 around his residence, in the image of the gardens described in the Koran, as an allegory of paradise.

The Fin Garden, in the south of the city, is an oasis, a mirage of water and greenery. It is the oldest Persian garden still in existence today. Its layout has served as a model for the creation of numerous landscaped areas in the Muslim world. In 2012, this treasure of Iranian history was classified as a UNESCO world heritage site.
