The Persian Caravanserai
UNESCO World Heritage Site in Iran
The Persian Caravanserai is a 
UNESCO World Heritage Site made up of 54 components around Iran.
Understand
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.
