Selim Caravanserai

We have encountered the Silk Road again, which crossed Armenia in three places on the way to Europe. We saw the Selim Caravanserai. A caravanserai was an inn or resting place for Silk Road caravans. These inns were fortified and sheltered both the merchants and their animals. This one dates from 1332 and is located at Selim Pass at 9000 feet.
