== Agriculture == Agriculture is Natanz' major industry. Local produce includes beets, walnuts, and pomegranates. The city is noted for its pears and its saffron, most of which is exported. Natanz' climate is well-suited for saffron, and the city has produced as much as 1,600 kg of dry saffron in a year.
==Historical monuments== It is known as the shrine of Abd as-Samad. Elements in the present complex date from 1304 with subsequent additions and restorations, such as the Khaneqah and Muqarnas vault. The tomb honors the Sufi Sheikh Abd al-Samad, and was built by the Sheikh's disciple, the Ilkhanid vizier Zain al-Din Mastari.
