A domed bedesten in the heart of the historic bazaar area; repairs to the building, damaged in the earthquake, were completed in 2025.
Its story
The Zincirli Bedesten is a covered bazaar building in Gaziantep's historic commercial center, between the Coppersmiths' Bazaar and the hans. Used for many years for different functions, from butchers' shops and a meat market to handicraft shops, the bedesten is a shopping stop where the area's copper, mother-of-pearl, yemeni (handmade leather shoes) and spice products can be seen together. Affected by the earthquakes of 6 February 2023, the building, together with its shops, was repaired and returned to service with a collective opening in September 2025. It is visited together with the nearby Tahmis Coffeehouse and the Tütün Han.
