Kuršumli An, Ottoman caravanserai in Old Town, Skopje, North Macedonia.

The stone building forms a square structure with pyramid-shaped domes, featuring two levels of arcaded galleries surrounding a central courtyard.

Built in the 16th century during the Ottoman Empire, this caravanserai provided accommodation for travelers and storage space for merchants crossing the Balkans.

The building houses temporary art exhibitions and cultural events as part of the Museum of Macedonia, highlighting regional artistic expressions.
