History[edit | edit source]
“ | A caravanserai was a quadrangular building frequented by merchants along routes in the Middle East, North Africa, and Southeastern Europe. It was designed specifically to accommodate the needs of travelers and their pack animals. The central courtyard featured a fountain and was opened to the sky. The caravanserai was surrounded by a series of arcades and stalls large enough to keep 300 to 400 camels comfortably. A typical caravanserai offered refreshment for humans and animals, space for religious worship, lodging, and a small market where those passing through could purchase new goods for the road ahead. Some of the more elaborate caravanserai even offered luxurious private baths. The word “caravanserai” is derived from the Persian “karwan,” which signifies a company (or “caravan”) of travelers in a large inn or “serai.” Early Muslim rulers often built and maintained these inns on well-worn travel routes to encourage political solidarity, trade safety, and economic growth of their kingdoms. |
