Brusa bezistan, Ottoman market hall in Stari Grad, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The rectangular structure features a central corridor crowned by six large domes and two smaller ones, built entirely of stone blocks.

Built in 1551 by Rustem-pasa, grand vizier of Sultan Sulejman the Magnificent, this market hall served merchants trading silk from Bursa, Turkey.

The building now houses a museum section displaying archaeological findings from the Butmir culture and Celtic objects from the Bronze Age.

Located in Bascarsija district, the museum operates Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with extended hours until 6:00 PM in summer.

The permanent exhibition includes Ottoman military equipment and early representations of the Bosnian lily, documenting regional military and heraldic history.
