Kajtaz House
Kajtazova kuća
A 16th-century Ottoman residence guided by the family's descendants, with its women's quarters and traditional kitchen preserved. It is a lesser-known cultural spot in the old town.
Kajtaz House lies in a small lane southeast of the Old Bridge and dates to the 16th century. It is said to have originally belonged to an Ottoman judge, and the Kajtaz family has lived here ever since. The house retains a timber women's quarter, a kitchen with a fireplace, dowry chests and old furniture. The courtyard has a garden and a well. Family members often lead visitors personally, creating a warm atmosphere. Entry costs a few convertible marks. Opening hours vary, so simply knock or ring the bell.
