This splendid and clamoring bazaar is the heart of the Old City and has been along these lines, from many years. Starting as a bit vaulted bedesten (stockroom) authorized by Mehmet the Conqueror in 1461, it created to cover an enormous extent as laneways between the bedesten, neighboring shops and hans (caravanserais) were roofed and the business acknowledged the sprawling, perplexed structure that it holds today.
