Balibey Han, Ottoman caravanserai in Bursa, Turkey.

Balibey Han extends across multiple levels, featuring open-air courtyards, stone archways, and traditional Ottoman architectural elements throughout its structure.

Built in the late 15th century by Bali Bey, son of Hamza Bey, this caravanserai served as a revenue source for religious complexes in Yenisehir.

The caravanserai represents Ottoman commercial traditions, serving as a meeting point for merchants and travelers along ancient trade routes.

Located in the western section of Bursa's Historic Bazaar district, this structure underwent extensive restoration between 2006 and 2009.

Among all caravanserais in Bursa, this building stands out as the only one constructed with three distinct levels due to its sloped terrain.
