Its story
The Mihal Bey Han in Gölpazarı, also known as Taşhan, is a caravanserai dating to the early period of the Ottoman Beylik. The single-story, rectangular building consists of an entrance, an intermediate space and stable sections, and its walls use alternating stone and brick masonry. Next to the han are a mosque known by the name Mihal Gazi and a hammam; these buildings are associated with the Mihaloğulları, descendants of Köse Mihal, Osman Gazi's comrade-in-arms. The group of buildings is a little-known example of early Ottoman architecture in the town center. It can be explored on a short walk together with the Gölpazarı bazaar.
