Sarıhan, Historic caravanserai in Aktepe Köyü, Turkey.
The Sarıhan Kervansaray features a central courtyard encircled by chambers that provided lodging and storage spaces for travelers and their goods.
During the Seljuk period, this caravanserai functioned as a crucial stopover point along the trade routes connecting Eastern and Western merchants through Anatolia.
The architectural elements of Sarıhan demonstrate the construction methods of Seljuk builders who created spaces for travelers to rest and trade.
Visitors can reach Sarıhan by taking guided tours from Cappadocia, with the site remaining open throughout regular daytime hours for exploration.
The stone walls of Sarıhan contain marks and inscriptions left by countless merchants who sought shelter within its confines over centuries.
