Edirne Bedesten
Merkez, Edirne
Edirne's oldest covered bazaar, with fourteen domes, commissioned by Çelebi Mehmed to provide income for the Eski Mosque.
Its story
The bedesten was commissioned by Sultan Çelebi Mehmed in 1417–1418 as an endowment for the Eski Mosque. It is covered by fourteen domes arranged in two rows of seven, and its thick stone walls were designed to protect valuable goods. It stands right next to the Eski Mosque; together they formed the city's 15th-century commercial center. Today its shops sell textiles, jewelry and souvenirs.
