Elhak
Caravansary
Some 20 Km east of Mian-dasht Caravansary, on the main
Khorasan Road, there is another caravansary, which locally
known as “Elhak”.
Unfortunately, the building has been destroyed during the
course of time, and at present, a part of the gateway and
vestibule remain.
The monument is nearly square, 50x50 Sq. m, and its portal
entrance, which is 5 m wide, is located on the south side.
Although most of the original caravansary has been
destroyed, some reconstruction works have been undertaken
by the local people. Considering the ruined parts of the
stables and gateway, which remain, it can most probably be
assumed that the original structure was built on
4-verandas plan.
