The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey is a place with a rich and extensive past. Widely considered to be history's oldest shopping mall, it occupies 61 covered streets and contains over 3,000 independent vendors.
Its beginnings date back to the mid 15th century, when Sultan Mehmet II commissioned it shortly after the Ottoman conquest of Istanbul in 1453. Today, the Grand Bazaar remains incredibly popular - in 2014, it was the most visited tourist attraction in the world.
