The Büyük Yeni Han is a historic caravanserai located in Istanbul, Turkey, founded by Sultan Mustafa III and completed in 1764. As the second largest han in the city, it played a crucial role in the bustling trade activities of the Grand Bazaar area, serving as lodging for merchants, storage for goods, and offices for business dealings. Its architecture reflects the Baroque period of Ottoman design, featuring unique elements such as alternating stone layers and overhanging projections. Today, the han remains a vibrant commercial hub, housing various shops and businesses, making it a fascinating destination for tourists and researchers interested in Ottoman history and architecture.
