The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world, with 61 covered streets and over 3,000 shops which attract between 250,000 and 400,000 visitors daily.The construction of the future Grand Bazaar's core started during the winter of 1455/56, shortly after the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople. Sultan Mehmet II had an edifice erected devoted to the trading of textiles.
E' il mercato coperto più antico (dal XV sec. ), e uno dei più grandi del mondo in assoluto.
E' un incasinatissimo intrico di vicoletti, e negozietti tutti uguali grossomodo, ma presenta ancora gli antichi nomi delle strade interne e delle aree, che indicavano le diverse aree specifiche per ogni tipo di merce (tappeti, gioielli, lampade, spezie, ecc.)
Su una delle porte c'è una scritta in arabo:
"Dio (Allah) ama i mercanti"
ps: E' CHIUSO DI DOMENICA!!
