Besiktas fish market

Not entirely relevant to my project, but I used to walk past here to get to work last summer, although it was boarded up then, I now know why!

This is the fish market in Besiktas. Its set where the old fish market use to sit, in the middle of the bazaar. The site is constantly busy with people walking past and delivery vehicles trying to run you over! This type of architecture is rarely found in Istanbul, with new architecture mainly occupied by shopping malls.

I think this is a little gem in the busy shopping area and I wish it had been finished when I was there- i'll just have to visit again.
