Büyük Han: A Journey Through History and Culture
Located in the heart of Nicosia, Büyük Han is a stunning 16th-century caravanserai built by the Ottomans in 1572. Originally a bustling hub for merchants, this architectural gem features classic arched walkways and a beautiful central courtyard that captures the essence of Ottoman design.
Today, Büyük Han has been beautifully restored into a vibrant cultural centre. You can wander through artisanal workshops, pick up unique handmade souvenirs, or enjoy traditional Cypriot flavours at one of the courtyard cafés. On weekends, the atmosphere is even more lively with local art workshops and live acoustic performances.
