The Spice Bazaar or Egyptian Bazaar is one of the oldest and the second largest covered shopping complex after the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. The building's construction was completed in 1663 and has an "L" shape. Once all of the shops in the bazaar used to sell spices, but over the time some have turned into jewellers, dried fruit, grocery, carpet, ceramic, trinket shops. Around the Bazaar there is a popular flower market and cafes on the Yeni camii side; fish, vegetable and grocery stores occupy the other side.
