Naeen, also spelled Nain, is a historic city located in Isfahan Province, central Iran. It is situated approximately 170 kilometers southeast of the city of Isfahan. Naeen is known for its rich cultural heritage, traditional crafts, and ancient monuments.

One of the most significant attractions in Naeen is the Jame Mosque of Naeen, which dates back to the 10th century. This mosque is an excellent example of early Islamic architecture in Iran, with its elegant minarets, intricate tilework, and beautiful courtyard.

Naeen is also famous for its historic houses, known as “Narenjestan.” These traditional houses feature exquisite architectural elements such as windcatchers (badgirs), beautiful courtyards, and intricate plasterwork. The Pirnia House and the Ameri House are two notable examples that have been well-preserved and are open to visitors.

The city is renowned for its high-quality carpets and rugs. Naeen carpets are known for their unique designs and fine craftsmanship. Visitors have the opportunity to visit carpet weaving workshops and observe the process of carpet making.

Naeen is also home to several ancient forts and castles. The Naeen Castle, also known as the Narin Ghaleh, is an impressive mud-brick structure that dates back to the Sassanid era (3rd to 7th centuries). It served as a defensive stronghold and offers panoramic views of the surrounding area.

The Aba Bafi Complex is another significant historical site in Naeen. It includes an old caravanserai, a traditional bathhouse, and an underground water reservoir. The bathhouse, known as the Pir-e Alamdar, showcases the traditional Persian architectural style and provides insights into the bathing rituals of the past.
