Çengel Han, Ottoman caravanserai at Ulus district, Ankara, Turkey
The two-story stone building features a central courtyard surrounded by rooms, shops, and traditional architectural elements of the Ottoman period.
Constructed between 1522 and 1523 by Damat Rustem Pasha, the husband of Mihrimah Sultan, the structure served as a commercial center on the Silk Road.
The building represents Ottoman trade architecture and functioned as a gathering point for merchants, storing goods like mohair and rice throughout centuries.
The Çengel Han now operates as the Rahmi M. Koç Museum, displaying industrial and technological artifacts, with entrance fees of 9 TL for adults.
The structure maintains its original architecture with Khorasan walls and includes a glass-covered courtyard after its restoration by Koç Holding in 2005.
