The bazaar formed originally around a long street. In medieval times,it was called Street of the Mevlevis,in reference to the presence of a dergah (a building designed for gatherings of a Sufi brotherhood). During the 17th Century,this street was filled in,which allowed the bazaar to extend. Today,the street,now called Anafartalar Caddesi (Anafartalar Street),winds to complete the circle of the shallow inner bay in a wide curve.
