1346 IR - Tabriz Historic Bazaar Complex (2010)

"Tabriz has been a place of cultural exchange since antiquity and its historic bazaar complex is one of the most important commercial centres on the Silk Road. Tabriz Historic Bazaar Complex consists of a series of interconnected, covered, brick structures, buildings, and enclosed spaces for different functions. Tabriz and its Bazaar were already prosperous and famous in the 13th century, when the town, in the province of Eastern Azerbaijan, became the capital city of the Safavid kingdom. The city lost its status as capital in the 16th century, but remained important as a commercial hub until the end of the 18th century, with the expansion of Ottoman power. It is one of the most complete examples of the traditional commercial and cultural system of Iran."

大不里士的集市区

"自古以来,大不里士就是文化交流之地,城中的历史集市区更是丝绸之路上最重要的贸易中心之一。它由一系列相互连接、顶部覆盖、砖石结构的建筑、房屋以及功能各异的封闭空间组成。13世纪时,位于东阿塞拜疆省的大不里士及其集市就因繁盛一时而闻名于世,并成为萨法维王国的首都。尽管从16世纪起,这座城市已不再是首都,但它却将商业中心的地位一直保持到18世纪后期奥斯曼帝国崛起之时。大不里士的集市区是伊朗传统商业与文化体系保存最完整的实例之一。"
