Current situation
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.
Information:
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.
