Information:

Garahisar Caravanserai, located in a high hilly area, was built on a busy road. Gara­hisar caravanserai was a place for merc­hants, travelers and other travelers to spend the night. Caravanserai and its sur­roun­dings have been the historical homeland of Azerbaijanis since ancient times. In gene­ral, Goyche mahal has been a place of re­sidence belonging only to Azerbaijanis in all periods of history.

Garahisar cara­vanserai belon­ging to Azer­baijanis was lo­ca­ted on the road­side. Cara­van­serai mostly served traveling merchants pas­sing through for trade. The ca­ra­vanserai had ware­houses to sto­re the goods of the merchants and stables to keep their ani­mals.
