The Gambler's Inn
An Ottoman structure constructed towards the end of the
17th century.
The
shape and proportion of the ornamented Gothic arch at the
entrance are not compatible with the other arches in the building
and they are contrary to Ottoman architectural style. It is
therefore suggested that this arch might have belonged to
another building -possibly a monastery- which used to be at
the same site.
The
building has been constructed with a rectangular design; it
has two storeysand no mosque. The travellers would stay in
the rooms on the upper floor and their animals and belongings
would be kept in the rooms on the ground floor.
