Bazaars & Big Shopping Centers

GRAND BAZAAR

The oldest and biggest indoor bazaar of the world is in the center of the city of İstanbul. Grand Bazaar may be overwhelming for some, but it is a fascinating experience. You can get anything here from silver and gold to antiques and food.

During the Byzantine period the area of the Grand Bazaar was a trade center. After the Turks came to İstanbul , two bedestens formed the essence of today’s Grand Bazaar. They were built by Sultan Mehmed II in an attempt to enrich the economic life in the city.

Later on, as people needed more places for their trade , they also added parts outside these bedestens. In time, these bedestens, hans and other parts around have been put together under cover , thus the Grand Bazaar has been formed . Throughout the Ottoman period, the bazaar underwent earthquakes and fires and was restored several times.

Today, shops selling the same kind of merchandise tend to be congregated together on their own stres or hans , as this was originally the Ottoman sytem.
