חאן כפר אוריה, Ancient caravanserai in Kfar Uria, Israel
The stone building of Kfar Uria Caravanserai stands in the Judean lowlands between Jerusalem and Ramla, featuring traditional architectural elements of the region.
Built in 1875 as an agricultural estate by the Christian Estate Association of Jaffa, the caravanserai later became a settlement point for Jewish immigrants in the 1940s.
The caravanserai represents a meeting point between agricultural traditions and trade routes, displaying local artifacts and hosting cultural exhibitions throughout the year.
The site remains accessible without entrance fees, with regular public transportation connections from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv running through the nearby main roads.
During Israel's War of Independence, the isolated caravanserai received supplies through airdrops, making it a strategic point for defensive positions.
