Busy Turkish bazaar, Istanbul

Oct 06, 2022, 11:11 AM

Tarihi Sali Pazari is one of the largest markets (bazaars) in Istanbul. Very busy. Vendors selling clothing, carpets, spices, antiques, second hand goods and food. This is a great example of a soundscape that shows something culturally-specific and therefore highly valuable and to be protected.
