Grand Bazaar, Istanbul

Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar is one of the oldest and largest covered markets in the world. Its construction began around 1455 shortly after the Ottomans conquered Constantinople.

During the 17C, it was the epicenter of Mediterranean trade routes as the Ottoman Empire’s reach spread across three continents. The Grand Bazaar was unrivaled in Europe with the abundance, variety and quality of the goods being traded. And today, after more than 550 years, it’s the number one most-visited tourist attraction in the world with more than ninety million annual visitors.
