Sultanhani caravanserai

The caravanserais were built during the 13th century by the seljuks. They are also called "han". It was resting places for the camel caravans on the Silk Road with a distance of 15 to 30 km apart.

The Sultanhani is the biggest in Anatolia. There were stables, food, summer and winter accommodation, prayer room - everything the caravans needed.
