Evrenos Bey Han

It was built in 1370–90 by Gazi Ahmet Evrenos and is located in the Trajanopolis Baths,[3][4][5] just twelve kilometers to the northeast of Alexandroupolis.

[3] Trajanopolis was an important Roman city founded by the emperor Trajan (r. 98–117 AD) on the ancient Via Egnatia.

During Byzantine rule in the seventh and fourteenth centuries, Trajanopolis is mentioned to have been the metropolis of the ecclesiastical province of Rhodope.

[5] The han functioned as an inn (due to the road station) near the Ottoman hamam (baths) complex, of which today ruins remain dating to the sixteenth century.

[5] On the neighboring hill where the small church of Agios Konstantinos and Georgios stands today used to be a center of gathering of dervishes, the Isklar tekke, which was mentioned by the Ottoman traveller Evliya Çelebi back in 1668.
