Historical bathhouse at late Ayatollah Taleqani’s house undergoes restoration
TEHRAN - The traditional bathhouse at the paternal house of the late Ayatollah Mahmoud Taleqani, located in the scenic village of Geligard, has undergone restoration.
The restoration includes the re-pointing and repair of existing walls, clearing access routes to the bathhouse, debris removal, excavation of the surrounding area, wall cleaning, and stone paving, a tourism official from Alborz province said on Tuesday.
Moreover, Samin Rezaei mentioned the start of another restoration work on a historical bathhouse located in Vardeh village of Alborz province. “The project, which is being funded through allocated government budgets, will involve floor and wall cleaning, re-pointing, and stone paving of the access paths.”
Both restoration projects have already begun and are expected to be completed within 15 days under the supervision of a contracted construction team, the official added.
Geligard, one of the most picturesque and historically rich villages in the city of Taleqan, attracts numerous visitors, many of whom travel specifically to see the ancestral home of
Ayatollah Taleqani, a prominent figure in Iran’s contemporary history.
Born to a religious family in 1911, Taleqani was an Iranian theologian, Muslim reformer, democracy advocate, Islamic scholar, and thinker, who revolted against Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran.
