Its story
The han stands on the bank of the Serapsu Stream, right beside the intercity road. It was built between 1236 and 1246 as a lodging place on the caravan route. The long rectangular building of large cut stones was one of the important staging posts of the Middle Ages. Today it is leased out by the Directorate of Foundations.
