Kursumli Han is a cultural monument located on the left side of the river Vardar, once you cross the Stone Bridge in the old part of the city.

Specifically, it is located under Mustafa Pasha Mosque, a few meters away from the Museum of Macedonia.

In my opinion, this is the most beautiful Han that is saved today, besides the other two (Suli Han and Kapan Han).

Once you pass the Stone Bridge, newly build square with couple fountains, the St. Demetrius Church and Daut Pasha Hammam, you will enter the Old Bazaar.

Today, the Faculty of Fine Arts and the Museum of the Old Town (which is part of the City Museum), are housed in Suli Han.

This Han is located in the Old Town, a few meters from Cifte Hammam and Sultan Murat Mosque.

Built in the first half of the 15th Century by Ishak Bey, along with Cifte Hammam and Sultan Murat Mosque, was part of an urban complex, generally characteristic for cities in the Ottoman Empire.

After Skopje was conquered by the Ottomans, the city, of its initial stagnation began to grow rapidly.

The name Bezisten comes from the Arabic word” bezz” (canvas) meaning covered market and from the Persian word “i stan” meaning selling point.

It was designed exclusively for selling canvas. As the years passed by, the covered market began to sell other goods. Those who worked here were very much appreciated.
