Kumarcılar Han, Ottoman caravanserai in North Nicosia, Cyprus

Kumarcılar Han contains 44 rooms arranged around a central courtyard, featuring a two-story structure with stone archways and traditional architectural elements.

Built in the late 17th century on possible monastery foundations, this caravanserai served as accommodation for merchants traveling through Cyprus during the Ottoman period.

The restored rooms of the caravanserai now house local artisans who create and sell traditional Cypriot crafts, maintaining the building's commercial heritage.

Located on Asmaaltı Street in North Nicosia's old quarter, the caravanserai operates daily as a cultural center with cafes and craft shops.

The entrance door of this caravanserai incorporates elements from an earlier Latin building, reflecting the architectural layers of Cyprus's history.
