Bazaar of Kashan from the past
The history of this old bazaar dates back precisely tothe time of Al Buehya and then to Seljuk, but the main boom of this bazaar was during Safavid era, especially during the reign of Shah Abbas. Bazaar of Kashan is one of the bazaars that has been praised by many travelers and historians since the same time. For example, the author of Zinat al-Majalis's book said: "The Raste of Bazaar of Kashan is unique in the world and its length is about 2000 steps."
Various sections have been added to the Bazaar of Kashan in different periods of time and have been enlarged and expanded day by day. For example, Qaisariya, which includes several caravanserais and shops with eye-catching architecture, was added to the bazaar during Shah Abbas's period. During the Qajar period and during the reign of Fath Ali Khan Qajar, when political stability and the progress of the national industries were achieved, other large bazaars, Timcheh, and caravanserai were built along this market. The New Coppersmiths bazaar and Farokh Khan Amin-o-Dowlah Ghaffari are one of the most important buildings that have been built up in the last century and no same examples have been observed yet.
Eugene Flandin, a French painter and architect who traveled to Kashan in 1973, wrote in his letter that: "In the last century, the city was completely destroyed and its buildings were demolished. Bazaars, caravansaries, and baths are amongst remarkable buildings of this Bazaar nowadays.
The coppersmiths' bazaar, one of the most important buildings in this market, was nearly ruined in 1909 and was completely destroyed during the Pahlavi era due to the construction of urban streets. The big Chaharsou, which remained undamaged in Darwazeh Dowlat for many years was ruined due to the construction of Shahrdari (municipality) square.
