Architec­ture

Since the Zoh­rab Khan cara­van­serai has Azer­baijani and Eastern ele­ments, it was not repaired and restored by the Armenians, it was demolished and other buil­dings were built in its place. This act of the Armenians is not only a terro­rist act against the material and cultural heritage of Azerbaijan, but also of the world.

In the city of Iravan, caravanserais were usually located in markets and squares where the population was denser. This caravanserai was built of baked bricks, hewn ashlar and marble. There were 38 shops in the Zohrab Khan caravanserai located in the city of Iravan and around it.

Caravanserai played an im­por­tant role in the course of tra­de operations in the Iravan Khanate, as well as in the socio-economic development of the city. Zohrab Khan Caravan­serai was one such caravan­serai.
