About this place
Set among Bursa’s historic bazaars, Koza Han was commissioned by Sultan Bayezid II in 1491 to generate income for his mosque and madrasa in Istanbul. Located between the Grand Mosque and Orhan Gazi Mosque, it makes an easy stop while exploring the old city on foot. Its two storeys of arcaded galleries surround a courtyard, where a small domed prayer room stands above a fountain. Long associated with Bursa’s silk trade, the han still houses shops selling silk scarves, shawls and fabrics. After browsing, step into the courtyard for tea or Turkish coffee. Much of Koza Han’s appeal lies in this everyday rhythm: centuries of trading history continue through the shops and conversations around you.
