Its story
İshaklı Han, or Sahip Ata Han, is in today's Sultandağı district, formerly called İshaklı. It was commissioned in 1249, during the reign of İzzeddin Keykavus II, by the Seljuk vizier Sahip Ata Fahreddin Ali. Its location on the Afyon-Konya road shows it was one of the important staging posts of the trade that flourished in 13th-century Anatolia. With its thick stone walls and monumental portal, it represents Seljuk caravanserai architecture.
