The Kuršumli An is a former Turkish inn which features architecturally interesting arches and domes. Because lead was used to top the structure, it became known as the Lead Inn (Kursumli An, in Turkish "Kurşunlu Han"). It was built by Musein Odza, the son of a scientist at Sultan Selim II’s court, in the 16th century. Now it is sharing its location with a national museum for Macedonia which is placed in the old Railway Station, halfly destroyed in the massive earthquake from 1963.
This caravanserai, today known as Kursumli - an (Lead Inn), is located in a former ironmongers' bazaar.
