Ejder Caravanserai
A stone caravanserai on an old caravan route at the foot of Mount Ağrı.
- History
Also known as the Harmandöven Caravanserai, the building lies about 30 kilometres south of Iğdır at the foot of Mount Ağrı. It was built by Şerafeddin Ejder Bey, lord of Sürmeli, on the old trade route to Tabriz. It stands out for the half-cylinder buttress towers along its long sides and its varied stonework, and has been restored by the General Directorate of Foundations.
