Kadınhanı, Konya
A Seljuk caravanserai commissioned by Raziye Hatun in 1223, which gave the Kadınhanı district its name; today an exhibition hall.
Its story
The han was commissioned in 1223 as a winter caravanserai by Raziye Hatun, daughter of Mahmud, on the Konya–Akşehir trade road about 35 km from Konya; its inscription records its patron and date. It is one of the few Seljuk hans whose endowment documents have survived as copies. Of the building, which consisted of two sections, one with an open courtyard and one covered, the covered section is standing today. It was restored by the General Directorate of Foundations in 1973 and is used by the municipality as an exhibition hall.
