Sad Al Saltaneh Inn in the hustle and bustle of the Qazvin traditional Bazaar! Sa’d al-Saltaneh Caravanserai was built during the Qajar Dynasty by the rule of Nasereddin Shah (who ruled from 1848 to 1896), and is the largest urban caravanserai in Iran. The caravanserai is located right next to the bazaar of Qazvin and is 6,000 ㎡ big with a square foundation. The complex consists of 7 yards, a bazaar, and a dedicated bathhouse. The calm and covered bazaar of this complex is full of small shops offering jewelry, handicrafts, carpets, paintings, and ceramics as well as cafes and restaurants in a relaxing atmosphere.

One of the sights of Qazvin is the cantor church. It is one of the smallest Orthodox churches in Iran. The Cantor church was built by the Russians in Qazvin during World War II, but today it has no religious use and is preserved as a monument. There are two tombstones in the churchyard, one of which is the tomb of a Russian pilot killed in World War II and one of Russian engineering. The architecture of the building and its brick facade look different than other buildings in the city.
