Mahmutpasha Bazaar, Covered market street in Fatih district, Istanbul, Turkey.
The Mahmutpasha Bazaar extends over a sloping street between the Grand Bazaar and Eminönü, featuring 256 shops on both sides of the pathway.
Ottoman Grand Vizier Mahmut Pasha established the marketplace in 1462 during Sultan Mehmed II's reign, commissioning a mosque complex with baths and fountains.
The marketplace maintains its role as a primary destination for wedding preparations, offering traditional clothing, dowry items, and ceremonial attire for local families.
Merchants in the bazaar sell clothing, textiles, accessories, and household items at fixed prices, making shopping easier compared to other Istanbul markets.
The Kürkçü Han within the bazaar remains the sole surviving structure from Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror's era, housing numerous textile and garment vendors.
