Kapan Han (Macedonian: Капан ан, Albanian: Hani i Kapanit, Turkish: Kapan Han) is a han (caravanserai) in the Old Bazaar of Skopje, North Macedonia. It was built in the mid-15th century by Bosnian general Isa-Beg Isaković, ruler of Skopsko Krajište, in order to provide a regular source of income for his endowment (vakuf).
The name of the han is derived from the Arabic word kabban which was a device used for measuring the weight of sold goods at the entrance of the han.

The Kapan inn, one of the oldest ottoman inns in Skopje, is situated in Skopje’s old Bazaar. It is first mentioned in the comprehensive register lists (defters) of 1467/68. It was built in the second half of the 15th century by the famous Turkish military leader and third border-area voivode isa Bey. It served as an inn until World War II. After the war, until the earthquake of 1963, the upper floor was used for the accommodation of several families, while the ground floor continued to be used as a warehouse. Today, the whole structure is covered with a tiled four-ridged roof, rooms of the inn are used as craft shops, restaurants, etc.

Charming place with lots of character and typical features in the building. We were there for lunch after wondering around the old bazaar. Service was a bit slow and maybe the language barrier didn't help on the process. Food was decent and well priced. Good to experience as part of the old bazaar trip. Haven't been there in the evening, but I would imagine that the place would offer a romantic evening dinner.
