The Sokullu Mehmet Paşa Arastası in Havsa, Turkey, is an Ottoman-era arasta (a covered bazaar or commercial arcade) designed by the renowned architect Mimar Sinan. Built as part of the architectural legacy associated with Sokullu Mehmet Paşa, a prominent Ottoman statesman, the structure exemplifies Ottoman commercial architecture of its period. Like other arastaes commissioned during this era, it would have functioned as a marketplace lined with small shops, reflecting the sophisticated urban planning and mercantile infrastructure that characterized Ottoman towns.
