Caravanserai in Jrapi, Medieval caravanserai in Jrapi, Armenia
The rectangular stone building features thick walls of 1.75 meters and contains three naves supported by two rows of columns with circular arches.
Built in the 12th century during the Seljuq dynasty, this structure served as a rest stop along major trade routes connecting Caucasia to Anatolia.
The caravanserai demonstrates medieval Armenian architectural techniques through its regular ashlar tuff stone construction in two different colors.
