This mansion is one of many that has been passed down to the present generation, allowing them to relive their past wealth.

This bathhouse was built in the 16th century during the Safavid dynasty of the Persian Empire. In the past, every city consisted of 5 important buildings: a mosque, a commercial area, a house, a bathhouse, and a reservoir. This bathhouse is considered a very important public bathhouse in Kashan. For the Persians, in addition to coming to cleanse their bodies, the bathhouse is also a place to meet, talk, and spread rumors. Inside the bathhouse is a brick dome roof decorated with blue and gold tiles with intricate and unique patterns that are impossible to take your eyes off. The bathhouse is divided into sections: Sarbineh is a dressing room or a place to relax. This area is an octagonal hall with an octagonal fountain in the center.

It is strange that why is there a Christian church in the former capital of the Persian Empire, which has officially become a Muslim country since 1501 during the reign of Shah Ismail, the first king of the Safavid dynasty who ruled Persia at that time. This is something very strange and worth studying. This church is located in the heart of the community called "New Julfa" of Armenians who have overlapped in the city of Isfahan since the 17th century. Although Vank Cathedral is not very large and cannot be compared with the Imam Mosque, the mural paintings inside the church are outstanding and beautiful.

Take you to Yazd, about 1 hour away, which is the most important ancient trading center in the desert since the 11th century until the present. Visit the Tower of Silence, a place for funeral rites according to the Zoroastrian religion. In the past, the emphasis was on laying the body to feed the vultures, but nowadays, people have turned to burying in concrete tombs instead. In order to maintain the purity of the earth element, Zoroastrianism has a great god named Ahura Mazda who created everything. They also believe that everything in the world has two sides. There is a god of good who creates light, beauty and fertility. At the same time, there is a god of evil who creates darkness, suffering and hunger. Therefore, everything has opposites, black and white, dark and light, or good and evil, and the two poles are always fighting. Another name for this religion is the fire worship religion because the symbol of the religion is the image of the prophet Zoroaster and a torch in a cauldron. Fire is a symbol of God. And lighting a fire makes Zoroastrians feel comfortable that the god is with them and will help dispel suffering. They also have to be careful not to let the fire in the cauldron go out to worship God all the time. Archaeological evidence indicates that in the past, Zoroastrianism was worshiped in many kingdoms along the Silk Road. From the excavation of ritual paintings by priests of the religion that came with cauldrons, another highlight of this religion is the funeral ritual. They considered the dead body to be unclean. Therefore, Zoroastrians do not cremate or bury their bodies. The funeral ceremony is in the form of placing the body on a high tower so that birds can come and peck at it instead. Zoroastrians respect the nature around them, so they do not want the soil and water that they depend on to become dirty. As for the afterlife, their beliefs are similar and are believed to be an inspiration for other religions that follow. When someone dies, their soul must cross the bridge of vengeance and receive judgment. Good souls will meet God, while evil souls will go to hell. Zoroastrianism flourished in Persia for about 1,000 years before declining due to invasions by other religions and the forced conversion of people to new religions. Currently, the center of Zoroastrianism is in Bombay, India. It is estimated that there are about 180,000 followers of this religion. Take a tour of the Yazd Mosque (Masjid-e Jameh), which has a 48-meter-high minaret, the highest in Iran. Built in the 15th century, it straddles the original mosque, which was built in the 12th century. Then visit the city square called Amir Chackhmaq Complex, which is both a multi-purpose square of the city and a landmark for socializing and a beautiful photo spot for tourists to see the beautiful arches, see the wind catcher in the old city and the old mosque of the city, not far from the old bazaar where the townspeople still come to shop regularly as in the past.

Visit Persepolis (Persepolis), founded by Cyrus the Great, the first king of the Achaemenid Empire. However, this city was established as the capital and the center of government. During the reign of Darius the Great, the father of Xerxes the Great, Persepolis Palace became the capital of the Achaemenid Empire of Persia from 550 to 330 BC. Persepolis Palace was destroyed by Alexander the Great in 330 BC after his victory over the army of Darius III of Persia at the Battle of Guagamela in 334 BC. Alexander originally kept the city after his conquest because of its beautiful architecture, which was built like a temple built by the gods, resulting from the accumulation of artistic wealth since the time of Cyrus the Great, the first king of the Achaemenid dynasty. In particular, the Apadana Palace and the Throne Hall, which were built magnificently as the residence of the kings of the Achaemenid dynasty, the kings who were proclaimed by the vassal states of the empire as "The King of Kings", were built during the reign of Darius the Great and were made even more magnificent during the reign of Darius III. The Persepolis Palace was burned down on the third night after Alexander the Great conquered the city. A group of soldiers (who were probably Greek soldiers) sneaked in to steal the royal treasures and set the palace on fire. The Greeks considered this act as revenge for the Persian army of Xerxes the Great invading Athens and burning the city and destroying the temple of Athena on the Acropolis. Which is considered the heart of the Athenians in the 2nd Persian-Greek War
Take you to see the city after death, Naqsh-e Rostam or the Tomb of the Four Kings.

Therefore, this tomb must be built to be as grand and magnificent as the palaces where those kings used to reside before.
