Many kervansarays and hans were built during the Seljuk rule in Turkey.
(13th century) There was no clear distinction between the han (inns) the kervansarays .
Being far from the cities, kervansarays offered services like blacksmithing to caravans in addition to accommodation.
They were generally sultans (like Alaeddin Keykubad I), mothers of sultans (like Melike Mahperi), atabegs (like Ertokuş), governors (like Karasungur), but occasionally persons with no official status.
The approximate date of construction is shown in the third column and the location of the han or kervansaray with reference to the end points of the road is shown in the last column.
