Lost Hans

Of the estimated 400 hans built by the Anatolian Seljuks, only approximately 50 remain standing in good condition. Another 75 are in ruins, and the rest have been completely lost over the years, due to destruction by nature, wars, pillaging, modernization, old age and neglect. Some, such as the Altinapa and the Ibrahimshah Hans, have been covered over by dam waters. In addition, as trade routes changed and different transport venues arose, many hans and their caravan routes become redundant and disappeared. Often their stones were carted away by villagers for other building projects.

Modern scholars, notably Dr. Osman Eravşar, have set out to discover the ruins of many hans. Hunting down clues from historical texts and travelers' journals, he and others have discovered many ruined hans over the last 10 years, and more are expected to come to light. Although these hans are not interesting for the average visitor, they do provide precious information for researchers concerning trade routes, the chain of stations along a route and commercial patterns, in addition to architectural details. Many of these ruins have enough walls and foundations still standing to reconstitute their plans and derive certain conclusions concerning architectural features and construction techniques. Some are being actively excavated with efforts to solidify their foundations and to restore them, while others lie crumbling and forgotten across the steppes of Anatolia.

Many hans now have completely disappeared or have been covered over by modern construction projects. Their names appear in reference books or on old maps, but no evidence of them remains today. Below is a list of han which are either in a totally ruined state or whose traces have been completely lost. The valuable publication of Özergin of 1965 listed many of these hans, now lost forever. Please refer to the complete bibliography for full details of references.

Ağlasun	15 Burdur	On the Antalya-Isparta road, 28-30 km from Bucak, in the center of the town of Ağlasun. It had the open courtyard-covered section plan. There were 3 nefs.

Altinapa	42 Konya	This is the second han believed built by Altinapa. The foundation deed of the Konya Iplikci Medrese states that there was a han built by Altinapa in the village of Argit (Arkit), built in 1201-2. It was repaired in the Ottoman era, but no traces remain today. It is also known as the Debbaglar Han.	*Özergin, Selçuklu Kervansaraylari.* p. 144, n. 1**

Artova	60 Tokat	Sivas-Tokat Road, near the Camlibel Pass, west towards the town of Artova.
Attani	40 Kirşehir	This han is mentioned in the vakif document of the Nureddin Caca Bey medrese, dated 1272, and thus this is the earliest possible date of construction.	*Bayburtluoğlu, Z. “Caca Oğlu Nureddın’in Vakfıyesinde Adı Geçen Yapılar.” Vakıflar Dergisi, XXV,* Ankara, 1995, pp. 5-8.

One of the two inscriptions on the wall of a mosque in this town belongs to a caravanserai. It is believed it was located at the entrance of the town.

Bardakçi	26 Eskişehir	Çay-Seyitgazi, 22 km southwest of Seyyitgazi in the village of Bardakçi. Ozergin says it is being used as a mosque at the present time. This han may be Ottoman.	Erdmann n. 69 (118, n. 1) *Özergin, Selçuklu Kervansaraylari,* p. 145, n. 10.**
Bedreddın Yalman	42 Konya	This han is mentioned in the vakif foundation deed of the Old Market of Altin Apa, dated 1202. It is believed that the han was located around the market.

Bor	51 Niğde	Southwest of the city of Niğde, near Bor, on the Ürgüp-Ereğli road. No inscription. 14.5 x 19m. with 6 supporting piers.

Çamalak	40 Kirşehir	On the Kirşehir-Zile Road. This route crossed the ruined Karabiyik Bridge and arrived at the Çamalak Han to the north of Kirşehir, but which no longer exists.

Legend saus that the stones of this han were dismantled and taken to Yozgat to be used in the construction of the Çapanoğlu Mosque.	Eravşar, Witnesses, pp. 34-45. *Özergin, M. Kemal. “Anadolu’da Selçuklu Kervansarayları”, Tarih Dergisi,* XV/20, 1965, p. 146, n. 17.**
Cibice	24 Erzurum	On the Erzurum-Sivas road. In a 14th century manual for merchants, the Florentine broker Francesco Pegolotti (d. after 1347) listed the toll stations along the route from the port of Ayas to Tabriz. He based his manual on the accounts of other traders who had used the Anatolian routes, since he himself never traveled to Anatolia. The Cibice Han may correspond to the stop Pegolotti called “Gavazera sulla Montagna". The exact location is not clear, but it is believed that it was located at the Cibice pass in the Keşiş mountains to the east of the village of Cimin.	*Özergin, M. Kemal. “Anadolu’da Selçuklu Kervansarayları”, Tarih Dergisi, XV/20, 1965, p. 146, n. 15.* *Pegolotti, Mercatura, p. 390.* *Taeschner, Wegenez II, table 38.*

Çubuk	58 Sivas	Located along the Sivas-Kayseri Route. Although Taeschner claimed that there was a han here, no trace of it remains today. Ibn-i Bibi stated that welcoming ceremonies were held for statesmen in Çubuk and that these ceremonies were held by portable kiosks erected for the purpose. The need for portable kiosks seems to indicate that there was no han in the vicinity.	*Eravşar, Witnesses, pp. 34-45.*
Dadıl	66 Yozgat	Yozgat-Akdağmedeni Road, north of Karamağara
Dazya	60 Tokat	Amasya-Tokat, in the village of Dazya to the north of Turhal. No inscription. Was repaired in the Ottoman era, along with the nearby mosque.	Erdmann, no. 77. *Özergin, M. Kemal. “Anadolu’da Selçuklu Kervansarayları”, Tarih Dergisi,* XV/20, 1965, p. 148, n. 24.**

It was located inside the city walls of Konya, in the vicinity of the Atar Armağan Shah neighborhood.

Yikik	42 Konya	Konya-Şeydişehir-Alanya Route originated in Meram to the southeast of Konya, and continued along the Hatunsaray Valley. The first station on this road was the Kavak Han, which no longer exists. The road continued through the gorge after the Kavak Han and arrived at a caravanserai called the Yikik Han. Some sources indicated a han called the Girvat Han existed after this han, but its location has not yet been determined. After this station, the road connected to Şeydişehir.	*Eravşar, Witnesses, pp. 34-45.*
Yunuslar	42 Konya	Konya-Beyşehir Road near Beyşehir, some 12 km from the Kiziloren Han. The road continued over a two-arched bridge around the village of Yunuslar, near the Çoka Stream. Özergin states that there was a han near Yunuslar, but no ruins of this building remain today. There was a five-arched bridge on this road mentioned by F. Sarre, but it, too, no longer exists. This was one of the several hans built along this short stretch of road.	*Eravşar, Witnesses, pp. 34-45.* Erdmann, 1961, n. 64 *Özergin, M. Kemal.

Zile	60 Tokat	20 km north of Zile
Zincirli	42 Konya	On the Konya-Aksaray Road, approx 10km from The Akbas Han in the village of Zincirli. No inscription, in ruins. Ibni-Bibi mentions a Han-i Zencirlü, which could be this han.

Zor	24 Erzurum	The Zor Koy Han was located on the Tabriz-Erzurum route. The building known as the "caravanserai of Zor" is located about 35km southwest of the town of Igdir, and at an altitude of about 1750 metres on the range of hills west of Ararat. "Zor" was the name given to it by the archaeologist Loris-Kalantar who, in 1913 (or 1912), was the first person to study it. However, the village of Zor is actually more than 15km to the east of the caravanserai, in another valley. The caravanserai lies beside a road that crosses the hills that separate the Arax valley from that of the upper Euphrates.This route (which goes over the Koçak Pass at 2300 metres) is easier than the modern route from Doğubayazit to Iğdir (over the Çengel Pass) because the overall gradient is never steep. The Zor caravanserai probably served a route to Ani that diverged off from the main Tabriz to Erzurum route. It was probably also linked with trade routes coming from the south, from the Lake Van region.
