Timche Amin al-Dawlah

Timcheh Amin al-Dawlah or Amin al-Dawlah Caravanserai is considered one of the Qajar buildings
 of Kashan city, which is located in the historic bazaar square of this city and is 
known as Mianchal. At the end of the 12th century of the lunar calendar, this market was 
destroyed due to an earthquake, and then it was rebuilt during the Qajar period with the efforts
 of a person named Farrokh Khan Ghafari, nicknamed Amin al-Dawlah, one of the famous men of that
 time. One of the parts that was added to the Kashan market is Timche, which was named after its
 founder, Amin al-Dawlah. The construction of this temple lasted between 1280 and 1284 AH and it
s architect was Ali Maryam Kashani.

Amin al-Dawlah consists of three floors of a strong and high-roofed building with a wide opening,
 and it is considered a grand and magnificent building in terms of width and length.
 In addition to its eye-catching beauty and geometric masterpieces, this building has been used
 with such precision and skill in the strength of the building, map design and architecture
 that even after a hundred years, even the smallest breach and crack in its foundation is not
 seen.


The roof of Timcheh Amin al-Dawlah is very beautiful with brick and tile work and Iranian
 vaulting. In this roof, due to the lack of use of carpentry, Roman covering was used and for
 this reason, they were able to increase the height of the Timcheh roof. In addition,
 the lack of structural capabilities of Yazdibandi has allowed the architect to implement this
 decorative covering more easily.


Timche Amin al-Dawlah has a vestibule and a middle space, and there are cells on two floors
 around it. This Timcheh is connected to the market through two large wooden doors.
 One door leads to a small octagonal courtyard from four sides and the other to a large square
 rectangular southern courtyard and finally they create a single palace which is considered 
one of the best masterpieces of Iranian architecture in the second half of the 13th century.

Until now, there has not been much intrusion in Timcheh Amin al-Dawlah, apart from the fact
 that its wooden doors and windows were sashes in the past, and now they have been turned into
 glass doors and windows. One of the social and cultural features of this team is the holding
 of mourning ceremonies of guilds, market boards and localities of Kashan in the month of
 Muharram.
