Sultanhani Caravanserai, a thousand-year-old station on the ancient Silk Road in Turkey.

Sultanhani Caravanserai is the most magnificent and best-preserved ancient station in Turkey. It has been a must-pass place for merchants and travelers on the Anatolian Plateau since ancient times, and it is also a relay station on the ancient Silk Road. During the Seljuk period, it was a bustling commercial town. The exterior of the station is magnificent and majestic, and the Seljuk-style gatehouse is impressive. The station is shaped like a castle, with a rectangular layout and walls made of huge stones. It is grand, tall, and strong, and closing the "city" gate makes it an impregnable fortress. The existence of Sultanhani Caravanserai is not only a part of Turkish history but also a part of world history. It witnessed the rise and fall of the Silk Road, recorded the exchange of Eastern and Western cultures, and carried the dreams and adventures of caravans and travelers.
