The Largest Local Market in Iran<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rasht Great Bazaar bazaar is the heart of the economy in Gilan<\/a> Province and is located in the old texture of Rasht. Rasht Bazaar dates back to the Safavid era (1501\u20131736). Unlike similar traditional bazaars, it is not covered and has no ceiling domes or lightwells. The bazaar has maintained its traditional appearance throughout the years and is still a place where agricultural products, different fish, local foods and handicrafts are sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
