Kashan, Desert oasis city in Isfahan Province, Iran
Kashan rises at an elevation of 942 meters, marking the northern edge of Kuhrud Mountains where the central Iranian desert begins.
Archaeological excavations at Tappe Sialk near Kashan revealed homes from 6000 BCE and evidence of metal extraction from 4000 BCE.
The name Kashan connects to the Persian word for tile due to its medieval ceramic production and current textile manufacturing specialization.
