This house dates from the 17th century, and was built on the initiative of Murad IV's mother, Sultana Kösem. A large part of the han is now dilapidated. A large square tower, 25 m high and located in the third courtyard, belonged to the Praetorium built by Arcadius, and was used as a prison in the Byzantine period. It is necessary to go up to the first floor by the stairs on the left after the entrance and go on the roof. From there, among the domes of the han, you can have an exceptional view of the Galata Bridge, the Bosphorus, the European shore, and the roofs of Sultanahmet.

Malheureusement, on m'a dit qu'on ne pouvait plus accéder aux toits car c'était dangereux ... Mais on peut aller aux étages et avoir des vues depuis les balcons. C'était assez rigolo de se promener dans cet ancien caravansérail, un peu hors du temps, qui semble un peu en ruine à certains endroits, de plus vous pourrez discrètement jeter des coups d'oeil aux ateliers où travaillent les artisans du fer forgé, de la poterie, des tissus ... Il y a un petit café d'où on peut avoir un panorama.
On ne m'a pas demandé d'argent.
