It's one of the largest Ottoman era inns in the world, located in one of the largest Bazaars with authentic architecture. It used to serve as an outpost for trade caravans. However, this cultural landmark is starting to deteriorate and it's showing. It's usually closed for visitors, except on special occasions like the Makedox Festival in August, because it's unsafe for the public. Despite its importance, nobody seems to care about its restoration. Neither the Macedonian government which gave it away to Turkey, nor the Turkish government, which is the current proprietor, and will continue to be over the nex 100 years or so. I hope this situation will change, because it has the potential to be a true...

Kurshumli An est un caravansérail historique situé à Skopje, en Macédoine du Nord. Il date de l'époque ottomane et fait partie du Vieux Bazar de Skopje, l'un des plus grands bazars des Balkans.

Histoire et architecture :

Construit au XVIe siècle, il servait d’auberge pour les marchands et voyageurs de passage.

Son nom, "Kurshumli", signifie "plombé" en turc, en référence à son toit autrefois recouvert de plomb.

L’édifice est un excellent exemple de l’architecture ottomane, avec une grande cour intérieure entourée de cellules voûtées qui étaient utilisées comme chambres.

Aujourd’hui, il fait partie du Musée archéologique de Macédoine et accueille des expositions et événements culturels.

Pourquoi le visiter ?

✔ Un témoignage fascinant du passé ottoman de Skopje. ✔ Une architecture impressionnante et bien préservée. ✔ Un lieu historique transformé en espace culturel vivant.

Si vous êtes passionné par l’histoire et l’architecture, Kurshumli An est un site...

Miejsce zamknięte i zabite na głucho. Wewnętrzny dziedziniec można jedynie podejrzeć i sfotografować przez dziurę w bramie wejściowej. Wielka szkoda, w takich miejscach można urządzić naprawdę piękne muzeum. Może w przyszłości się to zmieni - pewnie gdyby Macedonia Północna dołączyła do Unii Europejskiej znalazłyby się dotacje na ratowanie takich skarbów dziedzictwa kulturowego. Kursumli An to osmański karawanseraj położony na Starym Mieście w Skopje. Znajduje się na terenie Muzeum Macedonii. Służył jako zajazd i więzienie. Kursumli An został zbudowany w XV lub XVI wieku. Istniały tutaj stajnie na 100 koni. Ściany tworzą kwadrat, ale dach składa się z kopuł w kształcie piramidy. Kopuły były pierwotnie pokryte ołowiem i dlatego serai nazywane jest „Bazarem Ołowianym”. Pomieszczenia parteru wykorzystywano na magazyny, piętro na pomieszczenia sypialne. W budynku znajdowały się także pomieszczenia dla zwierząt gospodarskich.

Kursumli An是位於斯科普里老城的奧斯曼商隊旅館。 它位於馬其頓博物館附近。 它曾作為旅館和監獄。 Kursumli An 建於 15 或 16 世紀。 有可容納 100 匹馬的馬厩。 牆壁形成一個正方形,但屋頂由金字塔形圓頂組成。 圓頂最初是用鉛覆蓋的,這就是為什麼 serai 被稱為“Lead Bazaar”。 一樓的房間用於存儲,上層用於睡眠區。 Kursumli An is an Ottoman caravanserai located in the Old Town of Skopje.
