A day in Gaziantep: the castle and historic bazaars

A short walk at the foot of the castle: the Naib Hammam dated 1640, Gaziantep Castle, whose restoration was completed in 2025, the Hammam Museum in the Paşa Hammam, the domed Zincirli Bedesten, the Bakırcılar Çarşısı (Coppersmiths' Bazaar) where copperwork continues, and the Tütün Han with its black-and-white stonework.

Safety and caution

The historic center was affected by the 2023 earthquakes; there may be partial closures at the castle and hans due to repairs, so check before visiting. The bazaars are narrow and crowded.
