Zazadin Hanı, Seljuk caravanserai in Konya Province, Turkey

The Zazadin Hanı exhibits stone masonry techniques with rectangular blocks forming a fortress structure with a central courtyard and covered sections.

Built between 1235 and 1237 during Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad I's reign, this caravanserai was commissioned by vizier Sadeddin Köpek for traders on the Anatolia route.

The structure includes two detailed inscriptions over its doors, documenting the construction period and providing insights into Seljuk architectural practices.

Located 20 kilometers northeast of Konya on the Aksaray road, the caravanserai now functions as a venue for conferences, concerts, and ceremonies.

The building features an unusual off-axis entrance to its courtyard and incorporates recycled stones from earlier structures in its walls.
