Bazaars are one of the oldest elements in Iranian architecture, which date back to ancient times. In the past, according to the needs of people to buy their living things, bazaars were made in the very early methods. Later in the Seljuk period, which coincided with the developments of cities and the approximate calm of the situation in the community, large bazaars were built in most parts of Iran. Bazaars are classified into different types according to their type of operation, which are periodic, fixed, intermediate, etc. As the various components of bazaars: Rasteh, timcheh, Qeisarieh, shop and other side spaces that according to the needs of bazaar were created, can be mentioned. Exterior spaces include baths, mosques, coffee houses and restaurants. Semnan Bazaar is one of the memorials of the Qajar era in the Semnan desert city. In construction of this bazaar, they used materials such as brick and adobe. Semnan Bazaar has two parts: northern and southern. The northern part has 254 shops and a length of about 1.5 km. The northern part was also known as Rasteh Bazaar or Bazaar Bala and there is a mosque, a bathroom and a caravanserai. The southern part is located along the northern market and has 50 shops in it with a length of about 200 meters and is also known as the small bazaar or the down bazaar. Semnan Bazaar was divided into two parts at the time of Pahlavi due to making the streets of the city. To reach the Semnan Bazaar, you have to go to Imam Square in Semnan.
