Coppersmiths Bazaar
Bakırcılar Çarşısı
A historic copper street filled with the sound of hammering, where handmade copper trays, coffee pots and engraved vessels are abundant.
Coppersmiths Bazaar lies in the old town south of the castle and is Gaziantep's most lively handicraft street. Craftsmen hammer and engrave copper trays, pots, Turkish coffee pots and lamps in front of their shops. You'll also find mother-of-pearl inlaid woodwork, Kutnu weaving and handmade leather shoes. It can be explored together with the adjoining Zincirli Bedesten, the spice stalls and the cafés. Prices can be bargained down moderately. Copperware is heavy, so for large purchases, ask the shopkeeper about shipping.
