Know the area
Büyük Han is an Ottoman caravanserai in Nicosia’s walled city. Its two-storey arrangement around a courtyard helps explain its former lodging and trading functions.
Plan your visit
Consider the courtyard beyond a photo backdrop. Explore its connection with surrounding streets and make it the centre of a short walk. Check current shop and event information before visiting.

Landmarks and local details
Büyük Han in Nicosia’s walled city is a two-storey Ottoman caravanserai dating to 1572. Look at the courtyard arcades and central prayer building together to understand its trading and lodging functions. Nearby Kumarcılar Han is a separate building; do not confuse their map pins.
Before putting the plan into practice
Go beyond a courtyard photograph: ask open workshops about materials, handmade production and protective packaging. Check the stairs and areas open that day before planning an upper-floor visit. Separate a café stop from your architectural walk and keep busy passageways clear.
