Spice Bazaar (Mısır Çarşısı)

Highlight • Structure

The Spice Bazaar is located in Eminönü, near the Yeni Cami (New Mosque), across the public ferry terminal and the Galata Bridge. Istanbul's Spice Market, or Misir Çarsisi, was built in 1663 entirely as part of the adjacent Yeni Mosque complex to generate funds for the mosque's upkeep. The Spice Bazaar in Istanbul is the second-largest covered bazaar in Turkey and the largest spice market in the world. The Egyptian Spice Bazaar is a covered market space containing the spice market.
