About Koza Han:

Bursa Koza Han is a historical marketplace built during the Ottoman Empire, especially in a period when silk trade was thriving. Built in the 15th century, this market is one of the important examples of Ottoman architecture and holds a significant place in the history of Bursa. Koza Han is located at Hisar Kapı Square in Bursa. The entrance of the marketplace is adorned with a large and decorative arch, leading into the inner courtyard.

The inner courtyard is typically adorned with fountains and flowers. Around the courtyard are domed and vaulted galleries. The shops in the galleries sell various products such as traditional crafts, textiles, carpets, silk products, jewelry, and other souvenirs.

Bursa Koza Han was the center of the silk trade during the Ottoman period. Since Bursa is located at a point where the Silk Road passed, it had strategic importance for the silk trade. Koza Han was one of the central points of this trade and was home to many merchants. Besides the silk trade, various commercial activities were also carried out in other shops within the marketplace.

Today, Bursa Koza Han is an important cultural and commercial center that attracts both tourists and locals.

The shops within Koza Han offer a wide range of products, from traditional crafts to modern souvenirs.
