The Persian Caravanserai is a UNESCO World Heritage Site made up of 54 components around Iran.
Understand[edit]
Just as there are motels and truck stops along today's highways around the world, the roads in historical Persia - today's Iran - had many caravanserais, roadside inns where voyagers could eat and sleep. In 2023, 54 especially important, well preserved and/or architecturally interesting ones were listed as a world heritage site.
A typical caravanserai has several buildings, including stables for the caravans' horses and camels, grouped around a central courtyard. Some are quite large, able to accommodate several caravans. Some are in towns; the more rural ones are often fortified against the local bandits.
