Iran Press/ Iran news: There are many historical caravanserais in different parts of Iran, some of them have become tourist attractions for their unique architecture.
Deyre Gachin Caravanserai in Qom, south to Iran's capial Tehran, is one of those attractive sites for tourists.
Deyre Gachin Caravanserai is known as the mother of Iranian caravanserais due to its age, location, architecture, and type of past usage.

Yet, the caravanserai was built during the Sassanid era, then during the Seljuk and Safavid eras, fundamental changes were made in it, with its area increased in the Qajar period.
Deyre Gachin covers an area of 12,000 hectares and was an important and safe place for temporary accommodation of travelers during its heyday. This historical caravanserai was enlisted among national monuments of Iran in 2003.
Deyre Gachin Caravanserai in Qom is one of the largest historical caravanserais in Iran and is located 80 km northeast of the city.
