Hasan Pasha Han is a historic caravanserai built in the 16th century, originally serving as a resting place for traders along the Silk Road. Today, it has been revitalized into a lively commercial center, housing cafes, souvenir shops, and art galleries within its stone-walled courtyard. Visitors can enjoy a cup of Turkish tea while soaking in the atmospheric architecture, featuring arched galleries and a central fountain. The han offers a perfect blend of history and contemporary local culture.
