Zincirli Han was actually built for the traders from outside the Ottoman Empire to spend the night near the Bazaar. Downstairs was for the houses and upstairs for their owners. The stairs that lead you upstairs are so steep, it really is tiring to go up (especially if you're on high heels).

The floor downstairs is full of old stones that are placed abruptly so that the horses can walk easily. (Now that I think of it, it's not really a good place to wear high heels:)
