History:
This house was built about 180 years ago by Haj Muhammad Ibrahim Khan Qawamul Molk, one of the rich people of Kashan.
After being exiled to Kashan, Amir Kabir lived in this house and was martyred in this place.
After restoration, Amir Kabir’s house was opened as a museum in 1356.
Architecture:
Amirkabir’s house is an example of authentic Iranian architecture.
The use of bricks, tiles, plaster and painting in the construction of this house has given it a beautiful and eye-catching effect.
Different parts of the house, including interior, exterior, yard, pond, cellar, etc., with their own decorations, each has a unique beauty.
The wall paintings of Amir Kabir’s house are among the most beautiful paintings of the Qajar period in Iran.
