The Akhan Kervansaray before extensive renovation.
It consists of open and closed sections. The closed section contains two rows of pillars and has a domed ceiling. Akhan also contains two portal entrances in which one reads of the commissioner's name and year. Kervansarays were crucial on the medieval silk road as merchants would travel hours on horseback in order to reach their destination. -CK

Photograph created August 1963. Photograph processed August 1960. Formerly catalogued as B41.072, N.018. Notes written on the slide or index: Ak Han, Ak Khan - Denizli.
The written date of August 1963 is impossible since the slide was printed in August 1960. More likely it is from July 1960, when other slides in the AUG 60N batch were taken.
