According to Unesco website: http://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/5190/

Bazaar of Tabriz

This bazaar is the largest historical one in Iran that has been at least founded since 2nd  millennium BC in the same place according to the new findings. The main structure of the bazaar consists of two main roofed northern and southern building lines and several western-eastern ones. Its area is about 3 square kilometers and the largest roofed and attached brick complex in the world.

I guess we might call it the "Big, Beautiful and Bizarre Bazaar!"

Thanks Cyrus!

I am always more intrigued by more 'domestic' buildings and how grandiose they can be than specific set piece buildings built with the pure intent of being impressive.

I think it allows you a little better insight than a set piece does.
