Khansar is one of the mountainous cities of western province of Isfahan, which is formed on the path of a lush valley. The historical background of this city goes back to pre-islamic period. However, during the Qajar period, there has been a lot of growth and development. Currently, most historic remains of this period are residential buildings. According to the references of historical sources, these were Buildings of the lord-farmers.
