Saraye Moshir - Shiraz
Saraye Moshir, Golshan or Moshir Caravanserai is located near Vakil Bazaar, which is relic of Mirza Abol Hassan Moshir-ol-Molk. This arcade was repaired in 1970. Its rooms have been used as an exhibition hall for the demonstration of local handicrafts of Fars, thus called "Sarayeh Honar" (Art House).

The Moshir Caravanserai was built during the Qajar era in the 19th century and served as a hub for trade and commerce along the Silk Road.  The caravanserai is a rectangular-shaped building, with a large central courtyard surrounded by a series of rooms and chambers. The exterior of the building is made of brick and stone, with ornate arches and intricate tile work, reflecting the architectural style of the Qajar period.

Today, Saraye Moshir is traditional Bazaar in Shiraz, Southern city of Iran. It was founded more than 250 years ago under the order of government general of Fars province in Shiraz named Mirza Abolhassan MoshirolMolk. It was made as bazaar in the first days of its establishment. hereafter the time passed and history began. In some days this place was used as a museum and also as a traditional restaurant and Tea-Serving center. After the revolution in Iran it was cloused for some years. then it began to become a place for making handcrafts and artful goods. till then up to now it has continued.

Saraye Moshir is a fascinating destination that offers a glimpse into Iran's rich history and cultural heritage. It is a testament to the importance of the Silk Road and the role that caravanserais played in facilitating trade, commerce, and cultural exchange between different regions of the world.
