Hissar - Caravanserai


 
 

Caravanserai (12th - 18th centuries)

Another remarkable structure of Hissar complex is the caravanserai "Khishtin" which means "made of bricks". At first sight this is an ordinary building. What is so remarkable about it? The thing is that by the 20th century the caravanserai represented only the remains of foundation and burned-brick walls fragments no higher than 1 m. The original view of the building could only be seen in the picture taken in 1913. Having started the picture in details, the restorers got down to work the results to which you can see today.
