Tarihi Büyük Yeni han, pek çok film ve diziye ev sahipliği yapmış, yorgun bir yeşilçam emaktarı.

Monica Bellucci’nin Gergedan Mevsimi’nin hamam sahnesi'nin burada çekilmiş olsada Aslında Ezel Dizisi ile ünlenmiştir. Mahmutpaşa’daki 220 odalı hanın tarihi 1764’ye dayanıyor.

III. Mustafa tarafından Mimar Mehmet Tahir Ağa’ya yaptırılmıştır.

Gidip gezmek isteyen arkadaşlara söylemeliyim ki, tarihi Yeni Han'ın dış duvarlarındaki kuş evlerini görmezseniz çok şey kaçırırsınız.

Ayrıca öğle ve ikindi vakti arasında han'ın sarı kemerlerine ve sütunlarına vuran güneş ışıkları han'ı baştan aşağı sarı renge boyuyor ve ortaya muhteşem bir görüntü çıkıveriyor.

Özellikle han'ın içini gezerken inip çıkmaktan aşınmış mermer merdivenlere de bir göz atın isterim. Han'ın içindeki bazı dükkanların tarihi orjinal kapıları ve pencereleri hala durmaktadır.

The historical Büyük Yeni Han is a tired Yeşilçam veteran that has hosted many movies and TV series.

Although the bath scene of Monica Bellucci's Rhinoceros Season was shot here, it is actually famous for the TV series Ezel. The history of the 220-room inn in Mahmutpaşa dates back to 1764.

III. It was built by Mustafa by Architect Mehmet Tahir Ağa.

I must tell my friends who want to go and visit that if you do not see the birdhouses on the outer walls of the historical Yeni Han, you will miss a lot.

In addition, the sunlight hitting the yellow arches and columns of the inn between noon and afternoon paints the inn in yellow from top to bottom, creating a magnificent view.

I would especially like to take a look at the worn marble stairs from going up and down while visiting the inside of the inn. The original doors and windows of some of the shops inside the Inn are still intact.

Yanındaki çuhacı hanı gezerken tesadüfi olarak gördüm. Dıştan görübüşü olduğu kadar içi ve katlarıda şaşırtıcı. Gittikçe atıl duruma gelmiş. Öğrendim ki ezelin bir bölümü orda çekilmiş. Çok hoş bir yer.

I saw it by chance while visiting the çuhacı inn next to it. Its interior and floors are as surprising as its exterior appearance. It has become increasingly idle. I learned that part of Ezel was filmed there. It's a very nice place.
