Its story
The Taşhan was commissioned in 1699 by Mutasarrıf Rahtuvan Hacı Mehmet Paşa and built by the architect Mehmet Kalfa. The two-story han with a central courtyard was at the heart of Amasya's commercial life. Its entrance inscription is decorated with rosette motifs. Since the restoration completed in 2012, shops operate around it; according to the Ministry's page, the upper floor needs maintenance.
