Hasan Paşa Inn

The inn’s construction was started between 1572 and 1575 by Vezirzade Hasan Paşa, son of the Sokullu Diyarbakir Governor of that period. However, Governor Hasan Paşa was appointed to another duty during this period, so the completion of the inn took place under Governor Osman Paşa. Simeon of Poland, who visited Diyarbakır in 1612 and toured the city, mentioned that “there are two large stables under the ground that can accommodate 500 horses and a large number of rooms”. Evliya Çelebi, who came to the city in the 17th century, noted that the Hasan Paşa Khan was “like a castle, a very firm and a solid structure”. Located in the city’s commercial center, the inn is the second largest caravanserai in Diyarbakır after the Deliller Inn (Deliller Hanı).
