Dayahatyn, Medieval caravanserai in Lebap Region, Turkmenistan

The square fortress measures 53 meters on each side and features thick walls made of adobe and burnt bricks on the Amu Darya riverbank.

Built as a fortress by Tahir ibn Husayn in the 9th century, the structure transformed into a caravanserai during the Seljuk period of the 11th century.

The entrance displays symmetrical panels with epigraphic inscriptions from the 11th and 12th centuries, recognizing important figures in Islamic history.

Located 170 kilometers northwest of Turkmenabat, the site undergoes restoration work while maintaining its position as a significant archaeological destination.

The structure contains a mosque with Mihrab niches oriented toward Mecca, indicating its role as both a trading post and religious center.
