Zincirli Bedesten (Bazaar)

Zincirli Bedesten, built by Darendeli Hüseyin Pasha in the first quarter of the 18th century, is popularly known as ‘Kara Basamak Bedesten’. The historical building, also called Et Hali (the Meat Market) because it had been home to butchers for many years, was later used as the Courthouse Building by constructing another floor on it, but this section was completely destroyed in the fire in 1957. Today, it serves as a touristic destination where souvenirs are sold.
