Scenic old walls of former buildings that had seen many iterations over the last 100 years are now craters of former glory resting between new restaurants and hotels surrounding it, now showing what was juxtaposed next to current modern edifices yet reminder to what they could also someday be.

Tašlihan was one of three caravanserais in Sarajevo (along with Morića Han and Kolobara Han) which served both travelers and horses. A caravanserai was actually a large fort-like structure which could accommodate an entire caravan, with all of the pack horses and merchants.

Nice place from the 1500's which used to be an oldish and free inn at that time. Besides some indications, there is nothing else to be read or to do but despite all it has been a nice view.

Ruins of old caravansari. Along with the mosque and old bazaar they make the old centre charming

The summer garden that is part of Sarajevo’s Europe Hotel was built on top of the remains of Tašlihan, a stone inn (han) that was erected between 1540 and 1543 by the Ottoman Governor, Gazi Husrev Bey. Tašlihan was one of three caravanserais in Sarajevo (along with Morića Han and Kolobara Han) which served both travelers and horses. A caravanserai was actually a large fort-like structure which could accommodate an entire caravan, with all of the pack horses and merchants. Caravanserais were usually built on two levels and they would almost always have only one entrance, which would definitely be locked at night! The open courtyard area was reserved for the loading and unloading of goods, it was often paved with cobblestones and there would also be a well or fountain. On one or more sides of the courtyard there was a wide porch-like area, behind which were storehouses and goods. One side of the courtyard was reserved for horses and there was usually at least one set of stairs that led from the lower level to the upper floor, where guests had their rooms. Tašlihan was the largest and most representative inn of its kind in the region and master workmen from Dubrovnik worked on its construction, as well as that of Gazi Husrev Bey’s Bezistan, which was immediately adjacent to it. It’s interesting to note that Tašlihan had cupolas made of lead, which was not the case with other inns in Sarajevo. Tašlihan experienced fires on several occasions and the last fire in 1879 totally destroyed it. The remains of the inn were removed in 1912, except for the sections of the wall that were built against Bezistan. While Europe Hotel was being renovated, reconstructed and expanded, archeological excavations were carried out in the hotel’s summer garden area and it was then that sections of Tašlihan’s foundations were uncovered. In 2004, the Committee for the Preservation of National Monuments in BiH made this archeological site or, more specifically, the remains of Tašlihan, a National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The smallest of the capalicarsi. Beaded clothes and souvenirs are sold. It should be seen as a historical place.

Nice historical place, good spot for a picture as well.

It was ok..it’s nearly shopping center!

They are ruins of the old walls. It is semi-hidden between other streets and the part of Bascarsija, and you may often pass by it without realizing it. It is interesting, and you get an idea of ​​where the old town could be limited.

Historical ruins suddenly appear before you in the city. It has a beautiful appearance.

Just a little bit there, in the middle of the city. You should have seen it.

Little. For jewellery.

Unlucky that the post itself is pretty much left in ruins. What's there to mark it is really just a sign explaining some brief background on what it used to be. Some nice developments happening around it though, the area is a clash between old and new Sarajevo.

Very nice place to get a good read on some history of the land. They have a posted boards that helps you understand what this area used to be. The remaining wall and foundation on the ground paint small picture of what was here. It is a bummer that a very modern brand new hotel is now almost built on top of it though.

This once was the site of an inn that was part of a waqf, or Islamic endowment, for the people. Folks were able to stay in a room for free for one night, and then charged thereafter to ensure the place was sustainable. It's unfortunate that it's pretty much destroyed, but it serves as a beautiful reminder of the legacy of giving and charity.

A very nice piece of Ottoman history, bang in the middle of East meets West. The inside is replicated to the Bazarsn Istanbul! Nice to visit and clean

There are various items. Price is a bit expensive.

Nice place to visit

Close to the covered market, worth a visit

Historic place in the centre
