Mahyar historical caravanserai in photos

Mahyar caravanserai (roadside inn) in Iran’s Isfahan Province, is one of the prominent examples of architecture in the Safavid dynasty.

Mahyar caravanserai lies in a village of the same name and on a road that connects Isfahan to Shiraz.

The historical caravanserai is of high importance due to its proximity to a bazaar (market), mosque, coffee shop and bakery, which have been built a stone's throw from the historical site and are rarely seen near other caravanserais.

The caravanserai is inscribed on Iran’s National Heritage List.
