Fin Garden restoration completes on 17 October

Fin Garden (Bagh e Fin) in Kashan, Iran, completed a restoration project announced on 17 October 2026. The work concerns the historic garden itself and gives visitors a clearer picture of the areas recently treated.

The project covers the main entrance, building facades, paths, an ancient drainage system, lighting and stone boundary walls. The completion was reported by the Tehran Times after Kashan’s tourism chief said the recent work had come to an end.

Fin Garden restoration covers entrance and water systems

The restoration reaches both the visitor approach and the infrastructure that supports the garden. The entrance and facades were treated alongside the paths, while the drainage system and lighting were included with the boundary walls.

The announcement matters for a visit because the restored elements are distributed through the core historic complex rather than being limited to an isolated structure. The restoration announcement identifies the garden in Kashan and records completion on 17 October 2026.

Fin Garden links Safavid history with Persian garden design

The garden in its current form dates to the reign of Shah Abbas I, who ruled Iran from 1588 to 1629. Its historic fabric also contains elements from the Zand and Qajar periods, giving the restored entrance, walls and water infrastructure a layered setting.

A bathhouse complex stands beside the garden. It is associated with the murder of Amir Kabir, who served as prime minister under Nasir od-Din Shah from 1848 to 1851. The site also contains a two-storey building once used to lodge the royal establishment, while cedar trees in the garden are reported to be up to 500 years old.

Fin Garden forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage property called The Persian Garden, a group of nine gardens in Iran. UNESCO’s description of the property explains the shared four-part layout and the central role of water in irrigation and ornament.
