Tupkhaneh market, one of the most important and historical landmarks in the city of Kermanshah

Kermanshah has long been one of the important cities that connected the Iranian plateau to Mesopotamia. Along this ancient road, there were several structures and caravanserais for travelers to rest. The city itself was full of spectacular structures. The most famous of these structures was called “Tupkhaneh Bazaar.” The name of this market was chosen because the artillery regiment kept their military cannons in the caravanserai near the market. Tupkhaneh market, like all other traditional markets of Iran, was considered as a reflection of the lifestyle of the city's people and was a symbol of Kermanshah city. Therefore, this market, too, was of great importance and value for gaining knowledge of the society and behavior and activities of the city’s people. It was known as a place for trade of goods and cultural links. This link was vital also from another point of view. The market of Kermanshah was a meeting place for different cultures. The travelers who came to this city from Mesopotamia to buy or sell goods were both influenced by the culture of the city and had an impact on it. One of the most historical parts of this market is the passages that historians call the passage of the Tupkhaneh bazaar and the door to the animal's barn.” The exact phrase was written in a beautiful script on a tile, and it is visible on the door of one of the market gates. This section was a place for shoaling the animals brought to the market with the caravans. The soldiers’ horses were also shoaled in this part of the market. Now, this part of the market is a place to sell fruits and vegetables. All kinds of goods are bought and sold in Kermanshah’s Tupkhaneh market. The most important of these items are Kermanshah oil, traditional spices, and local yogurt and cheese offered in clay dishes. Kak (a kind of local Kermanshah sweet) and rice bread are among the other foods that are the most delicious provided by the vendors of Tupkhaneh market to their customers. The historical Tupkhaneh Market has a history of more than two centuries. In that period, it has sometimes lost its prosperity, and occasionally, it has revived with renovations. This bazaar has now established its place in the city’s economy and is the leading trade center.
