The Grand Bazaar was built at the request of Sultan Mehmed II in 1461 AD, and the initial structure was made of wood only, and then stone and bricks were added to the bazaar. The Grand Bazaar has been subjected to many disasters over the course of the days, starting with fires in the years 1701 and 1750 AD, ending with the earthquake in 1766, followed by more fires, the last of which was in 1954, and as a result, it was restored many times.

More than 25 thousand employees work in the bazaar and it is visited daily by more than 400 thousand visitors and tourists, and for this reason it is classified as the most attractive tourist area for visitors in Turkey. The bazaar is open daily from 9 am to 8 pm, except on Sundays.
