Kuršumli An is an Ottoman caravanserai in Čair Municipality, in the Old Town of Skopje, North Macedonia, near the Museum of Macedonia. Built in the 15th or 16th century, it served as an inn and later as a prison. Its square walls are topped by pyramid-shaped domes that were originally covered in lead, which gave rise to the name "Lead Bazaar." Stables once held 100 horses, with storage on the ground floor and sleeping quarters above.
