About: Arak Bazaar
Arak Bazaar is one of the first monuments of Arak County. Yet, this large complex consists of bathroom, mosque, school, water reservoir, and caravanserais that belong to the reign of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar and was built by Yusef Khan Gorji in the central part of Soltanabad (Arak's old name) in 1813 AD. Located in the middle of a چهارسوق, this bazaar has two paths of north-south and east-west which is linked to the old gates of the city through four directions. In fact, it has been the most strategic spot in the city in old times.
Arak Bazaar was registered in the list of Iran's National Heritage on November 1, 1976 under the registration number of 1285.
