Eski Aynalı Çarşı

Bursa


Originally built in 1335 as the Orhanbey Hamamı (the bathhouse of the Orhan Cami Külliyesi), Eski Aynalı Çarşı is part of the historic Kapalı Çarşı and features a domed ceiling with skylights. It's a good place to shop for Karagöz shadow puppets and other traditional items.
