The bazaar was one of the greatest and most luxurious trading centers during the Safavid era.

[1][2] It was originally constructed during the 11th century on the southwest wing of the Jameh Mosque and Kohneh Square, but various arcades and rooms were later added.

The bazaar, one of the oldest and largest in the Middle East, dates to Seljuk and Safavid eras and is the longest roofed market in the world.

[3] The site has been destroyed several times before the current bazaar was constructed in the 17th century.
