Hanul cu Tei

It was built in 1833 by Anastasie Hagi Gheorghe Polizu and Ștefan Popovici, on the trading street of Lipscani.

It was also called the Bezesten de pe Ulița cea mare a Marchitanilor ("The Inn on the Wide Street of the Merchants").

Important merchants of the time were hosted in this inn, including Constantin Atanasiu, who was to establish the store La vulturul de mare cu peștele în ghiare ("At the Sea Eagle Holding a Fish in His Claws"), a building that still exists, hosting a bank nowadays, near the Cocor store.

Its ornate, forged iron gates provide access from both Lipscani and Blănari streets.

It also provides a good example the typical Wallachian glass-covered façade, as the upper floor is covered by glass panels.
