Hızırbey Arasta and Hammam
Merkez, Kırklareli
The still-functioning arasta and double hammam of the Hızırbey Complex; the historic shopping street of central Kırklareli.
Its story
The Hızırbey Arasta (Bedesten) is a vaulted bazaar believed to have been completed in 1383–84 together with the rest of the complex. As it has no inscription, its exact date is debated; some of its domes are known to have collapsed in an earthquake at the end of the 19th century. Repaired in 1948 and 2007, the arasta is still in use today with its shops. The Hızırbey Hammam right next to it is one of Kırklareli's oldest buildings and completes the complex as a whole.
