Kapan Han, Ottoman caravanserai in Old Bazaar, Skopje, North Macedonia
The Kapan Han features 44 guest rooms across two levels, with dedicated spaces for horses and merchants spanning 1,086 square meters.
Built during the 15th century under Isa-Beg Isaković's rule, this structure generated income for the regional endowment through merchant accommodations.
The name Kapan derives from an Arabic term referring to the weighing instrument used for measuring trade goods at the entrance.
The building maintains two separate entrances, with one at ground level and another on the upper floor for direct access to second-story chambers.
This structure now houses a restaurant where visitors can dine within centuries-old walls that once sheltered traveling merchants and their caravans.
