Caravanserais are an important part of Iran’s cultural, commercial and architectural history. These public buildings, set up along important roads connecting the great cities of the Persian Empire and along key trading routes, housed caravans and travelers, including pilgrims, and have become treasured features of the Middle East's Persian past. The caravanserais pictured here were erected in the Qajar era (1789-1925), and are situated in the village of Shuryab in the Taghenkoh-e Jonubi rural district of Razavi Khorasan province.
