Qazvin Bazar

Qazvin Bazar Complex is one of the most valuable architectural monuments remained in Qazvin city. It was constructed in Safavid period however, most parts of the current buildings are Qajari. The complex is distinctive from other bazars in the city; it used to have commercial centers like Sarā, cultural-religious centers such as schools, mosques and service centers like historical bathhouse and cistern of which some parts were ruined. The plan of this building is checkered making it similar to a designed one. Among the most significant spaces inside bazar, we can mention Masjed al-Nabi (Shah Mosque), Saad al-Saltaneh Sarā (house), Vazir Sarā (the house of minister), Haj Reza Historical House, Razavi Sarā (Shah), open and roofed Timchehs (small caravanserais) and Qeysarie Sarā. In addition, other monuments like Eltefatieh Religious School, Salehieh School and mosque are placed here and their direct connection to bazar has been cut because of the street construction.
