Small Caravanserai

The Small Cravanserai in Baku, Azerbaijan has a square shape and an inner quadrangular courtyard with cut corners.

The caravanserai has a defensive construction and two floors on the southern side.

The caravanserai consisted of counters from the shopping street that did not have direct communication with the courtyard.

However, it is believed that there used to be a functioning Madrasah nearby which was part of the Jameh (Juma) complex and the rooms of the caravanserai were considered for students studying in Madrasah.
