Kashan (Persian: کاشان; [kɒːˈʃɒːn] )[a] is a city in the Central District of Kashan County, in the northern part of Isfahan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[5]

At the 2006 National Census, its population was 248,789 in 67,464 households.[6] The following census in 2011 counted 275,325 people in 80,015 households.[7] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 304,487 people in 91,935 households.[2]

Kashan is divided into two parts, mountainous and desert.

On August 9, 2007, Iran placed the Historical Axis of Fin, Sialk, Kashan on its Tentative List for possible future nomination as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The exact definition of what locations within Kashan proper might be nominated was not made clear. In 2012 Iran successfully nominated the Fin Garden separately for inscription by UNESCO as a part of its Persian Gardens World Heritage Site. Despite this the "Historical-Cultural Axis of Fin, Sialk, Kashan" remains in full on Iran's Tentative List. The Boroujerdiha house is one of the historical places from the Qajar period.
