Ardabil Bazaar

The bazaar spans across six main passages in the central area, featuring brick vaults, domed ceilings, and extensive commercial sections for various trades.

The structure originates from the Seljuk period in the thirteenth century and underwent substantial modifications during the Safavid and Zand dynasties between 1500 and 1800.

The marketplace contains numerous caravanserais, traditional bathhouses, and religious buildings that reflect the architectural styles of four Persian dynasties.

Merchants in different sections of the bazaar sell carpets, handicrafts, textiles, spices, and traditional foods in specialized areas connected by covered pathways.

The Qeisarieh intersection features a dome supported by twelve pillars with four pathways leading to specialized market sections for different trades.
