The Āmeri House (Persian: خانهٔ عامری‌ها Khāneh-ye 'Āmerihā), is a

historic house in Kashan, in Isfahan Province, in Iran.

 

It was built during the Zand era for Agha 'Āmeri, the governor of

Kashan, who was responsible for maintaining the security of the route

between Tehran and Kerman.

 

Covering an area of 9000 square meters, and housing seven courtyards,

the Āmeri house is one of several large spectacular old houses in the

central district of Kashan. Like the other houses around it, it was

rebuilt in the 19th century, after the city was ravaged by a series of

massive earthquakes in the 18th century.

 

The house is now a public museum, and is protected by Iran's Cultural

Heritage Organization.
