It's like taking a step back in time, this place is so well preserved. 🛕
This complex is a national treasure at the heart of Qazvin 💖 The biggest inside city Caravanserai in Iran. Persian art & architecture are really captivating here. ✴✴✴✴✴

More to this place than meets the eye! 🤩
Enjoy lovely lightings of its passages, and beautiful courtyards for sitting & rest.
Delicious local food & sweets in cozy traditional shops, restaurants & cafés. Apparently, one of the oldest Iranian cafés was established here. ☕
Also, you can find Iranian traditional Artifacts; paintings, carpets and Kilims in souvenir shops.

Never seen anything like it before.
A must-visit attraction. ✨

One of the most beautiful bazaars related to Iranian architecture, which has been very well restored, and you will find a variety of antique shops, clothes, cafes, etc. in it.

Very big and fantastic traditional persian accommodation. Including perfect traditional stores.

Beautiful place with peaceful atmosphere. You feel modern in an old architecture.
Rcommended !

It is the best place in Qazvin. There are many interesting shops and cafes in there and you can take good photos. It is near Bazar so you can visit both places at the same time.

It's still like the historical and ancient era before this... you will enjoy of architecture with such axitic ambiances just by walking and see around many shops as well as traditional sweet gluts

First must see attraction in Ghazvin city is now Sa'adol saltaneh caravansary which now is used as a boutique market to take you through the history with its magnificent ambiance. Walking through the gates , corridors , yards & boutiques gives you an amazing feeling comparable to nowhere else .

The Caravanserai of Sa'd al-Saltaneh (سعد السلطنه) is a large Caravanserai located in the city of Qazvin in Qazvin Province of Iran.

Built during the Qajar era, the caravanserai is one of Persia's best preserved urban caravanserais. The builder (patron) of this large caravanserai was a person by the name Sa'd al-Saltaneh Isfahani (آقا باقر سعد السلطنه اصفهاني), for whom the caravanserai is named after.

The caravanserai is built on a square plan, has 4 iwans facing a courtyard. The interiors are decorated with Muqarnas and Rasmi bandi.

The Hujrehs, or the rooms for the travelers, are situated one meter above the courtyard ground level. The Hashti behind the southern iwan has the largest gonbad, with 4 semi-domes adjacent to it.

The eastern-western axis of the Hashti is called Dalan-i Qeisariyeh (دالان قيصريه ) or "Caesar's Hall", and the north-south axis of the Caravanserai's Hashti is named Dalan-i Ghahremani (دالان قهرماني) or "Ghahremani Hall". The former is connected to the "Bazaar of Vizir" of the city.

There are also two smaller courtyards in the east and west of the Caravanserai.

This place is magical. Without a doubt, the main attraction to visit in Qazvin

One of the main places to visit and eat in qazvin the cafe in the picture is really good to have some traditional drinks. If you want some handy works you have some traditional shops too, personally I like to go here just to relax because the area around it is the main bazzar which is really busy often.

Here is one of Persia's best preserved urban caravanserais. Stunning building, worth a visit.

Beautifully restored old caravanserai. Very nice atmosphere. Added safety provided through a security guard at the entrance. There are a number of nice shops and cafes to choose from, both with indoor and outdoor seating. Great place to come for window shopping :-)

Historical architecture with such an exotic ambience, highly recommended.

one of the best places to visit during your travel to Qazvin. as a university student who studies in Qazvin I strongly suggest you to visit this place

I was going back home and dropped by to take some amazing photos of this amazing heritage from Safavi Dynasty. It used to be the biggest market place of its own time. There are several antique shops and cafe's you can visit. It has a calligraphy center, as well.

Perfect for a full day spend time

It's so beautiful. A good place for photography and rest after a busy day.
