Emir Han


The Emir Han is a smaller version of the Koza Han. It was built in the 14th century and has survived three fires and a large earthquake, however it was badly damaged in a fire in 1958 that lasted for three days. At one point it was used to trade spices, but now there are only a few shops left here.

hlzljMagnifique photo qui me rappelle un peu (un peu seulement) les places de nos petits villages de Provence. La vue de cette vasque aux formes si pures presque idéales, de cette eau vert pale me ravissent et me rappellent la cour des Lions à l'Alhambra de Grenade. la pureté de cette eau répond à la pureté formelle des lignes de cette fontaine.

On an envie de s'asseoir au beau milieu de ce Han et d'écouter le murmure de l'eau, et de laisser couler ses rêves au fil de cette eau si pure.

Amitiés

What a beautiful fountain. To have survived so much and for so long is impressive. MB
