Aliabad four-porch, square-shaped caravanserai. Each side is 66 to 70m long. The porches are deep and are covered by rock arches. At the end of each porch there is a path to the stables. The caravanserai has 31 rooms, all of which are connected to the outside.
This stone site would have been used as a caravanserai during peace-time, while during wars, it would have been used as a military fortress.
