The Spice Bazaar
Location: Istanbul, Turkey
The Spice Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey (also known as the Egyptian Bazaar) is one of the oldest bazaars in the city. Located in Eminönü, it is the second largest covered shopping complex after Grand Bazaar.
The Spice bazaar was projected by the chief court architect Koca Kasım Ağa, but completed by Architect Mustafa in 1660.
It is called so because various spice types from the Orient were offered here in the past.
