Summary
The Tabriz Historic Bazaar Complex, one of the oldest and most significant bazaars in the world, stands as a testament to its enduring role as a center for trade, craftsmanship, and cultural exchange. This study reveals that the complex, reconstructed during the Gajars period and still operational today, is not merely a marketplace but also a symbol of public, political, and religious significance. The bazaar's structure, comprising elements like the main passage (Gaysariye), intersections (charsug), linear shop rows (rasta), and specialized sections named after goods, professions, or founders, showcases its intricate organization. Inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010, the Tabriz Bazaar Complex exemplifies the fusion of historical trade dynamics and architectural innovation along the Silk Road.
