Due to a lower temperature which had been acquired during the built of the Bezistan, the original purpose of the object was the food trade, so event today, it still makes a shopping in the hot, summer days, nice and comfortable.

With its appearance Gazi Husrev-bey's Bezistan reminds of Kapalı čaršiju and bezistans in Istanbul or souk in the cities in the east. Bezistan is very massive stone construction with basilical type where the central part of the inner space is covered with an elongated barrel-shaped arch. Along the central surface on both sides there is total of 70 shops located within the barrel-shaped rooms vertically oriented to the central hallway.

Low intensity of daylight in central hallway comes with windows that are placed in a series of lunetas below the ceiling, so the interior need to be constantly highlighted with the electric lights, projected so, to evenly lighten the space, like stars.

The central domed area on the western side of the building once served as a connection with the garden to Gazi Husrev-Beys Tašli Hana, who was an integral part of this commercial complex.

In the fire in 1879, Tašli Han suffered great damage, while the last walls of Tašli Han disappeared in 1912.
