Talin Caravansarai

The Talin Caravansarai was a 13th century^[1] caravansarai located south of Talin, Armenia.^[2] The structure dates to the period of the Zakarid Dynasty and was a component of the Seljuk-inspired caravansarai network built by the Zakarids. This network was intended to draw trade towards Ani, and it also included sites like the Aruch Caravansarai.^[3] The rectangular structure near Talin is considered large for its type, and it consists of a central common area flanked by two dormitory-like structures.^[4] It is a ruin in the modern period.^[2]
