Gümrük Hanı

Gümrük Hanı is one of the important Ottoman buildings in the historic bazaar district of Şanlıurfa. Built in the year fifteen sixty-three, this two-story inn reflects the city's traditional commercial life through its stone architecture, spacious courtyard, and small shops. Large plane trees and flowing water in the courtyard create a peaceful and distinctive atmosphere. Today, Gümrük Hanı is a popular stop for visitors exploring historic markets such as the Bedesten and the Coppersmiths' Bazaar. Sitting in the courtyard and tasting traditional mırra or menengiç coffee offers a pleasant way to experience the everyday culture and historic character of Şanlıurfa
