Its story
The Ekmekçizade Ahmed Paşa Caravanserai is a large han built by the treasurer (defterdar) Ekmekçizade Ahmed Paşa in the name of Ahmed I and completed in 1610. Its architect is thought to have been Sedefkâr Mehmed Ağa. It is also known as Küpeli Han because of the decoration at the entrance, and as Deve Hanı (Camel Han) because of its gates, high enough for a camel to pass. Used over time as a stable, hospital and warehouse, the building was partially repaired between 2004–2008 through Turkish-Bulgarian cooperation.
