What To Expect

Grand Bazaar
The Grand Bazaar is perhaps one of the most important complex projects developed by the Ottoman Empire.
Because in its 500-year life, the Ottoman Empire experienced incredible changes, faced successes and failures, and implemented huge projects.
On the other hand, huge industries were established, Shipyards, Mints, schools and palaces were built. But very few of them are able to maintain their real function today.
It was a great mechanism in which a multi-faceted and effective competition between East-West North-South was controlled and balanced.
The Grand Bazaar is spread over an area of ​​110,868 m2, has a closed area of ​​45,000 m2, 3600 shops on 65 streets.
In this complex, which almost resembles a city, there are 5 mosques, 1 school, 9 fountains, 10 wells, 24 gates, 17 inns.
