Koza Han main gate Bursa, Turkey

Shoppers come and go through the monumental main gate of Koza Han, one of Bursa’s most famous landmarks.  Built in 1491, Koza Han was an important stop on the Silk Road and a major trading center for the local silk industry.  Today in Koza Han, peaceful tea gardens surround an elevated stone prayer chapel while two stories of silk and souvenir shops line the shady cobblestone courtyard.  Koza Han is a must-visit place in Bursa, and a little time relaxing here is usually time well spent.
