Experience Timeless Trade: Kayseri's Grand Bazaar, Bedesten and Inns - History in Every Handshake!

Grand Bazaar, Bedesten and Inns

It is estimated that the building was erected in the 15th century. It was considered to be the second largest covered bazaar, after the İstanbul Grand Bazaar, among covered bazaars built in the Ottoman period. The original structure, almost completely destroyed by a fire, was rebuilt with stone. Still considered the centre of Kayseri’s commercial texture, the Covered Bazaar (Kapalı Çarşı) features a variety of shops, including those that sell local food and handicrafts.
