Architec­ture

Historically, the Tahir cara­van­serai, which is valued as a va­luable material and cultural he­ritage, has al­ways been in need of repair. The caravan­se­rai fell into dis­re­pair and was blown up by the Armenians, and other buildings were built in its place.

Tahir Caravanserai was located in the city of Iravan and consisted of 74 shops. This caravanserai was built of baked bricks, hewn ashlar and marble and had a beauty­ful structure.

Some of the ca­ravanserais be­longed to in­di­viduals, and so­me belonged to the treasury. Treasure cara­van­serais were rented out. The tenant levied two taxes from the merc­hants.
