Spice Bazaar spices

Istanbul, Turkey

05/19/07

Mısır Çarşısı (Spice Bazaar) was built in the early 17th century. The Turks refer to it as the Egyptian Bazaar because it was built with money collected as duty on Egyptian goods. Today you can find quite a range of items: spices, foods, household goods, toys, clothes, and even exotic aphrodisiacs.

    So much character, colours and smells to be experienced in these beautiful shops. A feast for the eyes.
