Architectural Photography: Ornate Bazaar ceiling in Kashan, Iran
Ever heard fairytales and stories about sprawling and teeming with life Eastern Bazaars? This is how one of them looks like, no wonder they impressed travellers centuries ago just as they do now. Persian cultures had (and still has) a lot to offer, to defy your imagination and take its place in your heart.

These domes remind me of the oculus in the Pantheon in Rome--times three! I wonder if the Persians used the same architectural principles to construct them and which culture developed those principles first.
Уж никогда не подумала бы, что это крыша базара. Больше похоже на религиозное место их веры.
Жаль у нас в России потолки не отличаются такой красотой. Максимум железобетонная плита, в кафе правда можно встретить поинтереснее дизайн в виде досок.
На на базарах точно такой красоты я не видела.
За этим нужны путешествия
я с вами согласна, жаль сейчас такой возможности нет(
@avtoledy has it right - it seems more like a church than a market. It's really quite something.
Wonderful, who would say that this dome is part of a store center, a bazaar? It is a wonderful work of art inserted in the middle of a shopping center. Apart from the great political conflicts that exist between governments, it is good to know the art, traditions and culture of the peoples. This speaks, by itself, of what peoples are. Greetings @ nameless-berk
Uau! Their construction and ornamentation it is really e incredible! I love this type of knowledge, one of my interess is vernacular architecture, so of course I did love your post!
The architecture of the East is so diverse and so beautiful. I can not believe that among the heat and the desert, you can create such a miracle.
This and much more
The history of Persia is not inexhaustible. Starting from the ancient times up to now. The Persians also have many websites which I very much want to visit.
This is my aspiration and family. Great Photo @nameless-berk

Hola @ nameless-berk, este techo realmente es una belleza y en forma de cúpula lo hace impresionante, las informaciones que nos llegan de Iràn normalmente son malas, esto nos muestra la otra cara de la moneda: su arte, su arquitectura y su cultura... Saludos
Its amazing.
