Ardabil Bazaar
Ardabil Bazaar is a bazaar built during the Safavid era in Ardabil, north-western Iran.
In the 4th century, historians described the bazaar as a building in the shape of the cross with a domed ceiling. It was constructed during the Safavid era from the 16th to 18th century and renovated under the rule of the Zand dynasty in the 18th century.[1]
Caravansaries and inns, owned by the estate of the Safavid dynasty shrine, and mosques, some of which were endowed by Ata-Malik Juvayni (1226–1283) for the Shaykh Safi shrine, are located in and around the Ardabil Bazaar.[2] The proceeds from the many shops, bathhouses and inns in the bazaar that are owned by the estate of the shrine are used for the shrine's upkeep.[3]
