Rüstem Pasha Caravanserai, Ottoman caravanserai in Edirne Province, Turkey
The Rüstem Pasha Caravanserai features a rectangular design with two floors, incorporating a central courtyard and 21 commercial shops in the front section.
Built in 1561 under the direction of architect Mimar Sinan, this caravanserai was commissioned by Ottoman Grand Vizier Rüstem Pasha during the reign of Suleyman.
The caravanserai stands at the intersection of Asian and European trade routes, reflecting the Ottoman Empire's role in facilitating commerce between continents.
Following restoration in 1972, the structure operates as a hotel with 110 rooms, maintaining its original function as accommodation for travelers.
The building earned recognition through the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 1980, despite concerns about its conversion into modern lodging.
