There is certainly a market in every modern city – whether it is big or small. Therefore, it was like this always and everywhere. Since the ancient times, the first cities in the world were formed around the places of trade. Urban marketplaces in Asia and Europe were the special territory, where people met every day not only to sell or buy some goods, but also to catch up with each other's news, exchange opinions, take part in public events - spontaneous or organized ones. Tsar's heralds announced state decrees, merchants negotiated deals, vagarious artists and musicians entertained people on marketplaces. In other words, in ancient times and the Middle Ages, bazaars played the role of the most important social centres that hosted the events, which lately made history. However, the original, purely economic, or more precisely – the commercial role of bazaars makes it possible to compare them with the heart, which by rhythmic impulses drives blood through the veins and ensures the life of the whole organism. Thus, a city can’t exist without a market.
