Hafez

Shiraz

Vakil Bazaar or Vakil Al-Roaya Complex is one of the most famous traditional and historical bazaars in Iran. This bazaar, which was built by order of Karim Khan Zand, is now located in the center of Shiraz (east of Shahrdari Square).

Other places such as the mosque and the historic Vakil bath are located next to the bazaar. Construction of the Vakil Bazaar began in 1137 AH and lasted until 1156 when it was developed and completed.

This bazaar is one of the best remains of Karim Khan Zand which is still in use. The architecture of this building is taken from Qaisaria Lar Bazaar and resembles the Grand Bazaar of Isfahan made by Shah Abbas Kabir.
