History and archaeology / Han and caravanserai
Çakırsaz Caravanserai
Altıntaş, Kütahya
A small 14th–15th-century caravanserai on the road between the Germiyan capital Kütahya and Afyonkarahisar.
Its story
The han was commissioned by the Germiyanoğulları, who ruled the region after the Seljuks, for travelers on the Kütahya–Afyonkarahisar road. It consists of a single covered space roofed by three vaulted aisles and is entered through a large crown portal. As its inscription has been lost, its exact date is unknown; long in ruins, the building was restored in 2007.
