Shah Abbasi Caravanserai of Ganja, 17th century caravanserai in Ganja, Azerbaijan
The Shah Abbasi Caravanserai features a quadrangular structure with two courtyards, multiple guest rooms, stables, and storage spaces for traveling merchants.
Constructed between 1606 and 1614 under Sheikh Bahaeddin's supervision, the caravanserai operated as a major stop along trade routes until 1930.
The building incorporates traditional Persian architectural elements, including 17 large arches and an eight-pointed star grid pattern in its dome.
Located at coordinates 40.678719 latitude and 46.360825 longitude, the caravanserai now functions as a hotel complex with modern amenities.
Underground passages connected the caravanserai to both the Chokak Hamam and Shah Abbas Mosque, creating a network of historical structures.
