Kerman, Historic trade center in Central District, Iran
Kerman stretches across a sandy plain at 1760 meters elevation, enclosed by rocky hills that shape the desert landscape during autumn and spring.
Founded in the 3rd century by Ardashir I as a defensive outpost, Kerman developed into a major trading hub connecting the Persian Gulf to Central Asia.
The Kerman Bazaar demonstrates Persian architectural design through its interconnected passages, traditional workshops, and centuries-old marketplaces selling regional goods.
The city maintains commercial importance through its carpet manufacturing industry and agricultural production, particularly focusing on pistachio and date cultivation.
Kerman houses an anthropology museum within its Fire Temple, displaying artifacts and documents about the practices of the local Zoroastrian community.
