Description

A Seljukid caravan hostel from medieval times. Situated in Burdur, Bucak, the "Susuz Han" was constructed between 1244-1246 A.D. These waystops protected voyagers on the silk road and extended from Turkey to China on the way. For further information in English on this monument see: [link] . For a general overview on these buildings in English and Turkish see [link] ; also check out [link] for the rest of my photos from this building...
