Caravanserai of Zor, Medieval caravanserai near Mount Ararat, Turkey.
The rectangular stone structure measures 53 meters in length and 25 meters in width, featuring semicircular towers on its north and south walls.
Built in the 13th century during the Zakarid Armenia period, this roadside inn served traders traveling between northern Persia and Georgia through the Cedilli Pass.
The entrance portal exhibits a combination of Armenian church architectural elements and geometric patterns, reflecting the regional design practices of medieval Armenia.
Located 35 kilometers southwest of Igdir at 1750 meters altitude, the caravanserai contains separate sections for travelers and animal stabling.
An Arabic inscription discovered in the southern room ceiling indicates that an Armenian architect named Ashot constructed this medieval trading post.
