The heart of Bursa has been on the international market for centuries. The Silk Market in Bursa has always been the most valuable pearl in this market, although it has lost its former importance but still offers attempts to promote Bursa City, especially with its new functions.
Like other markets in the bourse, the silk market has changed some of its functions recently. The place known for its silk trade has recently become a place where people sit chatting and enjoying tea.
Khan Silk is located in the heart of Bursa, one of the most important tourist sites in the city. Today in this Khan, silk scarves are sold to local and international tourists who come to this unique market.
The Silk Market houses a large courtyard, mosque and coffee shop, built in the 15th century by Sultan Beyazid II in 1490. It is one of the most important centers of high quality silk and silksmiths. This market was the end point of the convoys coming from China loaded with the finest Chinese silk.
