Bazaar in Persian language
Bazaar is a market in the Persian language, meaning the market. Bazaar in Isfahan is a real maze of vaulted streets that lead directly to the old town. Bazaar’s iconic structure is called Chaharso, meaning four directions. It consists of two channels that intersect at the right corner and a large vaulted dome at the intersection. There are small holes in the vaulted roof to allow enough light to enter, while blocking the heat in summer and keeping warm in winter. The entire Bazaar is the center of urban commerce and is also the center of entertainment for the people.
