In Sarajevo the ruins of the Tašlihan were preserved and can be examined via a wooden catwalk across the ruins. Several infomation signs give a lot of information. There is at least one in English and Bosnian language of the nearby Hotel Europe and one in English, Bosnian and Serbian language by local authorities.

"Tašlihan (translated as stone inn ) is a former caravanserai that was located on the site of the current garden of the 'Europe' hotel in Sarajevo . It is the third stone caravanserai built in Sarajevo. It was built in the period from 1540-1543 from the legacy of Gazi Husrev-beg , after his death. It was added to Gazi Husrev-beg's bezistan on its western side. It was square in shape, and its length was 47 meters. It had a fountain in his yard, on the pillars of which was a small mosque. Upstairs were passenger rooms. Domestic and foreign merchants had their shops within Tašlihan. It is believed that this caravanserai served more trade than passenger traffic. The fire of 1879 severely damaged Tašlihan and made it unusable.

Archaeological site - remains of Tašlihan

As part of the project of rehabilitation, reconstruction and extension of the hotel "Europe", from June 5 to July 13, 1998, archaeological excavations were carried out in the summer garden of the hotel, which resulted in the discovery of part of the foundations and massive walls of the inn. Archaeological site - the remains of Tašlihan in Sarajevo were declared a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2007."
