Bursa, Turkey

Just as the Ottoman Empire reached its peak of power, a great "caravan palace" was built to accommodate all the trade, especially in silk, that wound its way to and through Bursa. Today, Koza Han is still devoted to trade, but it's the retail trade that matters. The structure here, in the middle of an outer courtyard, was once a mosque. [2007]
