Çardak Han

According to the seven-line inscription on Çardak Caravanserai, it was built by Esededdin Ayaz bin Abdullah al-Shahabi, one of his freed slaves and amirs, during the time of Alaeddin Keykubat. It was completed in the month of Ramadan in 1230 and was made as "Ribat" according to its inscription. The inn, built in the east-west direction, is a simplified version of the sultan's inns with its very large square courtyard and a six-section, five-nave hall. The indoor space has a rectangular plan on the east-west axis. Five naves were formed by using four rows in depth and five piers in each row. Known as Hanabat when it was a part of Dinar District, the inn was also used as a granary during the War of Independence.
