The Char Chatta Bazaar of Kabul was a covered marketplace in Kabul, Afghanistan, built in the 17th century by Ali Mardan Khan, the Mughal governor of Kabul during the reign of Shah Jahan.[1] It was more than 200 metres long,[2] and consisted of four arcades whose walls were covered with "stucco decoration studded with mirrors, and whitewashed with a special solution containing bits of mica to make them sparkle".[3]
It was destroyed in 1842 by a British force led by General George Pollock.[4]
