Chenar Rahdar Caravanserai

🕰️When was it built?

🏛️What was it built for?

Caravanserais were where caravans and travellers stopped, and they were usually built a day's journey apart. Travellers spent the night there, and their loads and animals were kept safe. That was also the role of this caravanserai on the roads around Shiraz.
