Many buildings in Kharanaq/ Kharanagh are completely collapsed and ramshackle, but among them, the remaining mosque from the Qajar period, a shaking minaret from 17th and the caravanserai of the city have been reconstructed and can be visited.

It has exhibition rooms made of clay and mud, inside the castle was designed like a maze to create confusion for thieves and attackers, who entering the building.

It is believed that the bridge only exists to transfer water from the seasonal river to the farms, or act as a dam.

Then it was rebuilt and reconstructed under the command of Muhammad Vali Mirza, the son of Fath-Ali- Shah Qajar.

The large number of rooms and arcs in this caravanserai prove that Kharanaq was a busy place where many travelers used to stay.

Today, tourists can reserve the rooms and spend the nights at Kharanaq Village Caravanserai.
