In the Ottoman bazaar, which continues to experience this culture, you may encounter many things that you can take as a gift to your loved ones. There may be price differences for the same products in the market, so you should not forget to higgle. It is known that Coppersmiths Bazaar has been used actively since the 19th century. Even recently, the municipality of Gaziantep decided to restore this historic bazaar. In this context, a terrific architect was adapted among the single-storey workplaces. That famous hammer hit on copper has now become a natural melody here. This wonderful bazaar, where the products called handicraft are sold largely by manual labor, also offers traces of glass and mother-of-Pearl Art. If you enter even randomly a workplace, you can witness live performances of masters without shopping. Keeping the production areas together with the sales areas is considered as the most important reason why the bazaar is so vibrant.
