Category:Stara Čaršija, Historic market district in Knjaževac, Serbia.
The Stara Čaršija features traditional architecture with narrow streets containing local shops, cafes, and artisanal establishments spread across multiple connected lanes.
The district evolved as a trading hub during Ottoman rule when Knjaževac was known as Gurgusovac until 1859, marking centuries of commercial exchange.
Local merchants maintain traditional crafts and commerce practices, offering products that reflect Serbian traditions through generations of family businesses.
