Enormous stone buildings, called ‘Kervansarays’ meaning caravan palaces, were built approximately every 30Km along the roads. They were built to provide shelter and amenities for the traders and their animals, which could sometimes mean over 400 animals, whether it be camels, horses or donkeys. These Kervansaray’s sometimes included accommodation for traders/travellers, animal stables, water, markets, kitchens, baths, blacksmiths and an infirmary.
