Commissioned in the 15th century by Sultan Bayezid II, Koza Han, also known as the Cocoon Inn, stands in Bursa, Turkey. Originally a caravanserai, it was designed to generate income for the sultan’s mosque in Istanbul. Its strategic location at the end of the Silk Road made it a bustling hub where merchants would unload their final shipments of silk. Today, visitors can explore the historic stone walls and arches, imagining the vibrant trade that once filled its courtyards. The site offers a glimpse into the rich commercial history of the region, making it a fascinating stop for those interested in the past.
