Kashan Bazaar, Historical market center in Kashan, Iran.

The Kashan Bazaar extends over three kilometers with brick arches, domed ceilings, and circular skylights illuminating numerous commercial passages and alleys.

Established during the Seljuq dynasty in the 10th century, the bazaar underwent substantial reconstruction in the Safavid period and received additional structures during Qajar rule.

The bazaar features traditional sections dedicated to specific crafts, including the Copper Line where artisans create and sell copper cookware and decorative items.

The market complex contains multiple entrances from Baba Afzal Street to Darvaze Dolat Square, with operating hours extending from morning until 10 PM daily.

Ancient water canals called qanats run through the bazaar, feeding fountains and creating a natural cooling system within the marketplace structure.
