| Büyük Han bol postavený v rokoch 1576 a 1577 Sinanom Pašom - guvernérom Cypru (1572 - 1579) zbúraním obchodov pred mešitou Selimyie (bývalom katedrálnom kostole sv. Sofie (Božej múdrosti)). Podobá sa na hostinec Koza Khan v Burse v Turecku. Büyük Han was built in 1576 - 1577 by Sinan Pasha - the Governor of Cyprus (1572 - 1579) by demolishing the shops close to Selimiye Mosque (the former St. Sophia Cathedral). It is similar to Koza Khan in Bursa, Turkye. |
 |
| Hostinec má sadirvan (vodnú nádrž s fontánou) umiestnený na stĺpoch v strede vnútorného nádvoria, mescit (modlitebnú miestnosť) s malou kupolou vo vrchnej časti sadirvanu a vodnú nádrž v spodnej časti sadirvanu. The inn has a sadirvan (water tank with a fountain) placed on columns at the centre of the inner court, a mescit (a praying room) with a small dome on top of sadirvan and a water tank at the bottom of the sadirvan. |
 |
| Hostinec je postavený zo žltého kameňa a je to najväčší hostinec z tohoto obdobia na Cypre. The inn is built of yellow stone and it is the biggest khan from this period in Cyprus. |
 |
| Dvojposchodový hostinec má 68 izieb a 10 obchodov a jeho areál má tvar štvorca. The inn is two storied and it has 68 rooms and 10 shops and its area is square-shaped. |
 |
| Izby v spodnej časti boli používané ako obchody, sklady a maštale, zatiaľ čo izby na vrchnom poschodí s kozubmi boli používané ako spálne. The rooms downsairs were used as shops, staorage rooms and stables, while the room upstairs with fireplaces were used as bedrooms. |
