Ganjali Khan Complex

The complex is composed of a school, a square, a caravanserai, a bathhouse (hammam), an Ab Anbar (water reservoir), a mint, a mosque and a bazaar.

A number of inscriptions laid inside the complex indicate the exact date when these places have been built.

The square is enveloped by bazaar arcades to the north, south and west and is flanked by the Ganjali Caravanserai to the east.

[1][3] In ancient Iran, the squares of the cities were established near the governorships and were places for gatherings and ceremonies.

Inside, the bazaar is decorated with exquisite plasterwork and wall paintings and although they are 400 years old, they are still well-preserved.

The plan of the caravanserai is based on the four-iwan typology, with double-story halls centered on tall iwans enveloping four sides of an open courtyard.
