Khan al-Khayyatin, Medieval khan in Tripoli, Lebanon.
Khan al-Khayyatin features a sixty-yard passageway with tall arches on both sides and ten transverse arches that open towards the sky.
Built in 1341 during the Mamluk period, the khan served as a central marketplace and lodging facility for merchants traveling through Tripoli.
The structure incorporates ancient Roman granite columns and Crusader Church elements, reflecting the multiple civilizations that influenced Tripoli's architecture.
Modern visitors can explore the khan's merchant stalls and storehouses, where local tailors and dry goods vendors continue their traditional trade.
The khan differs from typical square-courtyard designs by featuring a linear 60-meter passage with sequential arches creating distinct spatial patterns.
