Khan al-Umdan, Ottoman caravanserai in Acre, Israel
The Khan al-Umdan stretches across two floors with 40 granite columns supporting its arches and features a central courtyard with a water well.
Built in 1785 under Ahmed Jezzer Pasha's governance, this structure replaced the Royal Customs house of the Kingdom of Jerusalem from the Crusader period.
The caravanserai served as a central meeting point where merchants from across the Mediterranean region gathered to trade goods and exchange cultural influences.
Located near the marina in the Old City, visitors can access the caravanserai through two entrances: the east side facing the market or the west passage to the port.
The granite columns supporting the structure were transported from ancient Caesarea and incorporated materials from Crusader monuments found in Acre.
