  • The Covered Bazaar in Istanbul (Turkish: Kapalı Çarşısı) is also well known as the “Grand Bazaar” or the “Golden Bazaar”. The original part once was built with wood under Ottoman Sultan Mehmet II. in the year 1461, only eight years after the conquest of Constantiople and developed under the reign of Sultan Suleyman (1520-1566). Because of several fires the bazar had to be restored later and was more and more developed. The dealers in the bazaar are still today usually located together with their branches like gold shops, carpet or leather stores. The world-famous bazaar accommodates hundreds of small business with nice decorated goods. Beautiful ceramic work, porcelain, glass painting, small wooden boxes, figured articles from alabaster, waterpipes and multicolored turkish slippers, plates with nice decoration, tea glasses and oil lamps, decorative copper cans, arts and crafts from sea foam, curved daggers as well as carpets and scarfs spreading a flair of the old Orient. The “Covered Bazaar” is an enormous labyrinth, where many people passes at certain times in the magnificent main lanes. Many handcraftsmen and artists, which were in former times also located in the bazaar, are now working in the quartier around, their products are for sale in the bazaar shops. © Photo and text by Jens Helmstedt Photo published in German-language Magazine / Zukunft – Issue 07/2008 in my article about / the quartier Beyazit in Istanbul.
