Stari Han

Stari Han is a stone caravanserai in the Kremna area that served as a roadside inn for merchants and travelers over centuries. The building features arched doorways and a central courtyard, with separate sections for people and livestock, reflecting how such places were organized during medieval times.

The caravanserai was built during Ottoman rule as a stopping point along major trade routes crossing southeastern Europe. It served for several centuries as a vital link connecting distant regions through commerce and travel.

The building reflects the meeting of different cultures through trade and travel over centuries. Visitors can see how merchants and traders shaped the space through their daily use and passage.

The site is located about one kilometer from central Užice and is easily accessible by car with parking available nearby. The building is open for visits throughout the year, making it convenient to plan a stop during any season.

The structure retains the rare feature of having clearly separated spaces for humans and animals, a design typical of medieval roadside shelters. This distinct division reveals how thoughtfully these places were organized to accommodate the different needs of travelers.
