Comparison with other similar properties

　　There exist a lot of ancient fortresses all around the country .Although these fortresses share some common features, they are considered unique. If there was a market in cities with ancient fortresses the remains is not considerable. Concerning the above-mentioned feature Kerman fortresses are unique (Ardeshir and Doghtar fortresses and Chalipaie Bazar along with them).

　　In this section, Kerman fortresses and Bazar will be compared with similar ones in the country.

　　1) There exist some similarities between Narin fortresses of Meibod and Naiten with Kermani's. Concerning its architectural features Meibod fortress dates back to Median era, and apparently later on it was of concern again and reconstructed in form of a Sasanid city. This sun-dried brick fortress accommodated some people till the fall of Mozaffars Family Dynasty. Ordered by Amir Goorkani, some parts of the city were pulled down. This fortress like the Kermani's was located within a city, but constructing a couple next together was peculiar to Kerman. In Kerman, though, there was one (Dokhtar Fortress), a new one was built on the neighboring hill.

　　2) Dokhtar fortress in Firrozabad of Fars is a masterpiece of Sasanids: This fortiJied fortress was built by Ardeshir. Constructing this (like Bishapoor fortress) ruble stones and Sassanid mortar were used as construction materials. The Fortress was built on slope of the mount. As these were deserted they could sustain their primary architectural features during the time. As these two fortresses have been reconstructed over the time, there can be found some valuable remains of Partians' sun-dried bricks as well as added fortljcations during Saljooghi, Ilkhani and Ghajar eras. All these tougher made a precious collection out of these bricks and arches.

　　3) Enjoying four historical peculiar Bazaars, Kerman is considered a unique place in Iran and among Arabic countries. (Ganj-Ali Khan, Ebrahim Khan, Vakil and Haj Agha Ali).

　　4) Kerman Bazaar is the only one in its kind that enjoys a square (Ganjali Khan square which is not roofed) at a crossing of two straight roofed bazaars and a part of this Bazaar is turning around this square. In most cases the Bazaar entrances are from this square. Kerman is the only city that is benejted with a square within the market as well as a main entrance from Arg Square among the cities of dried and hot area.

　　5) Small mosque of Ganj-ali Khan within Kerman Bazaar is like a museum of ornamental arts. Ganj-Ali Khan Bath is also the most beautiful of its kind in Iran.

　　6) Crossing shape of Kerman Bazaar is a combination of organic and non-organic elements. Lar also has got a crossing shape Bazaar, but only Kerman is designed completely.

　　7) Kerman Bazaar has eastern and western wings with ca. lkrn of length (one of the biggest ones in Iran).

　　8) Ganj-Ali Khan Chahar Sough (a dome made of four acute angle domes) with twenty meters of height is one of the tallest among Iranian Bazaars and enjoys peculiar ornaments.
