Koza Han (Bursa)

Koza Han (Cocoon/silk market) is in the Bursa. Bursa is one of the greatest cities in Turkey. On 24 April, 2010 we were in Bursa. Koza Han, it was built in 1491 by sultan Beyazit. Before here, they were selling cocoon. And they were producing silk. This traditional job, came from the middle Asia by the famous silk road. Inside of this Koza Han, there is like a hundred rooms where you can buy beautiful silk stuff. But today, they are not selling cocoons anymore...The ambience of this Koza Han, when you are inside drags you into the old days as you are not living in the year of 2000s...
