Within the urbanHistoric Landscapehistoric urban landscape (HUL) heritage bearing of TabrizTabriz Historic Bazaar, the Bazaar is an exceptional example in demonstrating the struggle, balance, and integration of change in the passage of time. Despite periods of neglect and damages caused by earthquakes, floods, fire, and looting, development of the Bazaar has never ceased. Moreover, the Bazaar has retained its role as one of the most important economic centres in the country—a role which it continues to play due to the adaptations of the physical characteristics of the complex to the changing commercial and economic trends of society.
