Caravanserai

In Iran, there used to be over a thousand caravanserais. About every 40 km along the old caravan routes, you could find these places, where you could eat, sleep and drink and where was a place to put your camel.

Today, there are only 128 left, and most of them are in ruins.

This caravanserai has been restored in its old glory.
