Beyazit Square is in Beyazit, opposite of the University of Istanbul. It was built in 393. There’s Beyazit Mosque which gives its present-day name in the center.

In the past the square was called Square of Bulls. Because there was a gigantic triumphal arch decorated by bronze bull heads.

Today there’re a lot of shops selling books, maps, particles etc. here. You can find very interesting things in these shops.
