History · A stone stop on the caravan road
Add a story to your journey.
Alayhan is one of the Seljuk caravanserais on the Aksaray–Nevşehir road. Its dressed-stone facing, geometrically decorated portal and single-headed, double-bodied lion relief distinguish the building. It offers a meaningful stop when exploring the region’s historic caravan routes.
Before you go
Confirm visiting and access arrangements before setting out. Allow time for the portal details, and stop only in safe, permitted places beside the road.
Plan your visit at your own pace. Opening times, entry conditions and transport options may change, so check current information before setting off.
