Turkey is a land of sun, sea, and history.
As being one of the content resources of our Explore Turkey web site the book covers the most important ancient sites of Anatolia. The foundations of one of the most outstanding covered markets of Istanbul, the Grand Bazaar, which stretch from Beyazit to Nuruosmaniye, were laid out immediately after the conquest of Istanbul. The bazaar grew from shops and hans, lining the streets, which had the space between covered over for more convenient shopping. The resulting arcades were covered with roofs and arches, and were illuminated by clerestorey windows. The bazaar comprised 4400 shops.
