Gazi Husrev-beg bezistan, Ottoman covered market in Stari Grad, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Gazi Husrev-beg bezistan is a covered market hall in Sarajevo's old town where rows of small shops sell jewelry, leather goods, and handcrafted items. The structure stretches roughly 109 meters and connects through multiple entrances to nearby landmarks such as the Bey's Mosque, Kuršumli Madrasa, and Clock Tower.

Gazi Husrev-beg's endowment founded the bezistan in 1555, and craftsmen from Dubrovnik took part in its construction. A tašlihan, a stone caravanserai built at the same time as part of the same waqf, stood beside it; a fire in 1879 damaged it heavily and its last walls disappeared in 1912. In 2006 the Commission to Preserve National Monuments, chaired by Amra Hadžimuhamedović, declared the bezistan a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Local merchants and craftspeople use this space to sell handmade jewelry, leather goods, and traditional items, keeping centuries-old trading practices alive in the city center. Visitors encounter these makers directly in their small shops, experiencing how the market continues to function as a living center of commerce rather than a museum.

The bezistan lies below the level of the surrounding streets, and this is what keeps it cooler than the streets above on hot summer days. It has a rectangular plan with entrances at its ends framing a 109-metre passage lined with small shops. Gazi Husrev-begova (Zlatarska) Street runs parallel alongside it, and the eastern entrance links it to the Bey's Mosque, Kuršumli Madrasa and the Clock Tower.

The bezistan was built slightly below the level of the surrounding streets, which keeps its interior cooler than the outside air. This made shopping pleasant on hot summer days and was the reason the hall was originally used for trading groceries. The nearby tašlihan, a stone caravanserai built at the same time as part of Gazi Husrev-beg's endowment, was badly damaged in an 1879 fire; its last walls disappeared in 1912.
