The Grand Bazaar began construction in 1455 and opened in 1461. It was well known for its jewelry, pottery, spice, and carpet shops. The bazaar contained two bedestens (domed masonry structures built for storage and safe keeping), the first of which was constructed between 1455 and 1461 by the order of Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror. The bazaar was vastly enlarged in the 16th century, during the reign of Sultan [[Suleiman the Magnificent]]. At some point in time during his [[search for the Seals]], [[Ezio]] visited this bazaar.
The Grand Bazaar opened to the public in 1461 and was very popular with food, spices, pottery, fabric and many more. It is one of the largest covered markets in the world with over 250,000 and a half million visitors daily. It was a very famous Turkish land mark and shopping place in the Ottoman Empire.
