Kesikköprü Caravanserai (Cacabey Hanı)
Merkez, Kırşehir
A Seljuk caravanserai in the village of Kesikköprü, commissioned by Nureddin Caca, Emir of Kırşehir, notable for its portal built of two-colored stones.
Its story
The Kesikköprü Caravanserai, also known as the Cacabey Hanı, is in the village of Kesikköprü about 23 km south of Kırşehir, right near the Kızılırmak crossing. It was commissioned in the Anatolian Seljuk period by Nureddin Caca, Emir of Kırşehir; the provincial directorate of culture and tourism dates the building to the mid-13th century and notes that a bridge was built nearby in the same period. Its decorated portal, built of stone in two different colors, is the most striking part of the caravanserai. The han forms a joint visiting stop together with Kesikköprü.
