Grand Bazaar


I n front of this market, all the ships of the Black Sea, the Mediterranean, and almost all the ships of the ancient world would dock, one after the other, at the port in the Golden Horn, unloading and loading their cargo.

Goods were bought and sold by all the tradesmen of the ancient world in this bazaar.

Along the Golden Horn, within the coastal walls, there were places providing accommodation for crews and sailors from all nations of the world, and brothels serving them.

On the other side of the Golden Horn, in the Galata region, lived those who managed the money of maritime trade.
