Pirinc Han is a beautifully restored 17th-century Ottoman caravanserai located in the heart of Ankara's historic Altındağ district. Originally built as a trading inn for merchants traveling the Silk Road, the han now serves as a vibrant cultural center. Visitors can wander through its stone courtyard, browse handicraft shops selling traditional Turkish ceramics, carpets, and jewelry, and relax in cozy cafes serving Turkish tea and coffee. The architecture features classic Ottoman elements: arched doorways, a central fountain, and two floors of rooms surrounding the courtyard. What makes Pirinc Han distinctive is its authentic atmosphere, unlike more touristy bazaars, it retains a local feel with artisans working on-site. You'll see calligraphers, copper smiths, and carpet weavers practicing their crafts. The han is also a great starting point for exploring nearby historic sites like Ankara Castle and the Roman Temple of Augustus.
