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.
