in Kashan often formed around shrines of popular saints (such as
this one seen here). All public facilities such as baths, houses
of mourning (tekyehs), teahouses, administration offices, and schools
were to be found within the neighborhood itself. In addition to
the main bazaar of the city, each neighborhood often had its own
bazaar-cheh, as well as its own ab anbar, which provided the neighborhood
with clean water. Kashan had 70 such ab anbars before being modernized
with city plumbing in modern times.
