The Evrenos Bey Han, also known as the Hana of Trajanopolis (Greek: Χάνα της Τραϊανούπολης; Turkish: Kara Ilıca’daki Hanı[2]) or just Hana is a caravanserai (han) in northern Greece, and one of the oldest Ottoman monuments in the Balkans. It was built in 1370–90 by Gazi Ahmet Evrenos and is located in the Trajanopolis Baths,[3][4][5] just twelve kilometers to the northeast of Alexandroupolis. The monument is a long, rectangular building with external dimensions of 38.8 by 13 metres (127 ft × 43 ft).[3]
