Le grand bazar d’Istanbul est l’un des plus grands du monde avec ses 65 rues intérieurs auxquelles on accède par 21 portes et ses 3600 boutiques.
Sa partie la plus ancienne date de 1455 et a été construit en bois. Il a ensuite subit ensuite plusieurs modifications dont sa restauration suite à un tremblement en 1894 et par plusieurs incendies.
Comme tous les bazars, il est organisé en quartiers artisanaux.

Istanbul (historically Byzantium and later Constantinople; see the other names of Istanbul) is the largest city of Turkey and the third largest city in the world. The city covers 27 districts of the Istanbul province.It is located on the Bosphorus Strait and encompasses the natural harbor known as the Golden Horn, in the northwest of the country. It extends both on the European (Thrace) and on the Asian (Anatolia) side of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the only metropolis in the world which is situated on two continents. In its long history, Istanbul served as the capital city of the Roman Empire (330–395), the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire (395–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1922). The city was chosen as joint European Capital of Culture for 2010. The historic areas of Istanbul were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.
