Masjid

Büyük Khan is constructed like a rectangle, surrounding an open inner court. The building has two gates, which makes it unique compared to the inns of Anatolia. The gates were closed during night time and were not opened until the travellers had checked their luggage in the morning to ensure that nothing had been stolen. At the centre of the inner court stands an octahedral mosque with a dome roof, with a well intended for religious washing. The Turkish designation is masjid.
