Walking along the Old Book Bazaar, one could see the dome of the Beyazit Mosque located just outside the bazaar and (which we later found out) was also sandwiched between the entrance to the Istanbul University. We did not go into this mosque and pakdokter would have to read up and find out more about the history of this mosque as well as that of Sultan Beyazit, after whom pakdokter assumed this mosque derived its name. This mosque must have been built for the folks of the Grand Bazaar and the university.
