Gazi Husrev-begov bezistan

It was built in 1555 in the immediate vicinity of the Kuršumli Madrasa, the Bey's Mosque and the Clock Tower, with which it is connected by an eastern entrance.

It is rectangular in shape with entrances, which border the 109 m long street in which small shops are located.

Gazi Husrev-beg Street (also called Zlatarska) runs parallel along the bezistan.

Due to the slightly lower temperature achieved by building below the level of the surrounding streets, the original purpose of the bezistan was to trade in groceries.

The decision was taken by the Commission to Preserve National Monuments at its session held from 4 to 11 September 2006, composed of: Zeynep Ahunbay, Amra Hadžimuhamedović (chair), Dubravko Lovrenović, Ljiljana Ševo and Tina Wik.
