Built during the Qajar era, the caravanserai is one of Persia's best preserved urban caravanserais. The builder (patron) of this large caravanserai was a person by the name Sa'd al-Saltaneh Isfahani (آقا باقر سعد السلطنه اصفهاني), for whom the caravanserai is named after. The caravanserai is built on a square plan, has 4 Iwan s facing a courtyard. The interiors are decorated with Muqarnas and Rasmi Bandi . The Hujrehs, or the rooms for the travelers, are situated one meter above the courtyard ground level. The ''Hashti'' behind the southern iwan has the largest Gonbad , with 4 semi-domes adjacent to it. The eastern-western axis of the Hashti is called ''Dalan-i Qeisariyeh'' (دالان قيصريه ) or "Caesar's Hall", and the north-south axis of the Caravanserai's Hashti is named ''Dalan-i Ghahremani'' (دالان قهرماني) or "Ghahremani Hall". The former is connected to the "Bazaar of Vizir" of the city. There are also two smaller courtyards in the east and west of the Caravanserai. SEE ALSO |
