Suluhan, Ottoman caravanserai in Altındağ district, Ankara, Turkey.
The Suluhan encompasses two courtyards, one square and one rhombic, with 102 rooms arranged around them, built using rubble stone and domestic tiles.
Constructed between 1508 and 1511 by regional governor Hasan Pasha during Sultan Bayezid II's reign, the caravanserai underwent reconstruction in 1685 by Mehmet Emin Bey.
The caravanserai features the Köşk Mescit mosque in its northern courtyard, reflecting the integration of religious practices into commercial spaces during Ottoman times.
Located 400 meters southeast of Ulus Square, the structure now houses numerous shops selling local goods and includes several cafes for visitors.
Following a significant fire in 1929, the building transformed from a traditional merchant rest stop into a modern tourism and leisure destination through restoration in 1984.
