Taşhan, Ottoman commercial building in Ulus, Turkey
The rectangular stone structure features traditional Ottoman architectural elements with multiple shops arranged around an inner courtyard.
Built between 1895 and 1902 by İsmail Bey under governor Abidin Pasha, Taşhan served as a hospital during the Turkish War of Independence.
The building transformed from a caravanserai into the Taşhan Palace Hotel, representing the evolution of Turkish commercial centers through different periods.
Located in central Ankara, the structure maintains its commercial function with various shops and stands as a reference point for local navigation.
The building housed Karpiç, established by Russian émigré Karpotaviç, which became one of the first modern restaurants in Ankara until 1933.
