The Multani Caravanserai is a caravanserai located in Baku, Azerbaijan. It was established in the 14th century and is located in the Icherisheher old town, opposite the Bukhara Caravanserai. [1]
The caravanserai was built to house merchants from the medieval city of Multan (now in Punjab, Pakistan) who frequented the region for trade, and used this caravanserai as a stop. [2] [3] They included Zoroastrians, who are also believed to have erected the Ateshgah Temple in Surakhani. [3]
The caravanserai has a square shape and the construction of the building is in an ancient style. [4] There are many balconies around the courtyard. Now the Multani Caravanserai houses a restaurant of Azerbaijani cuisine. [3] In 2020, restoration works were commenced on the site with a completion time of 2022. [5]
The caravanserai has been linked to the historical relationship between Azerbaijan and Pakistan. [6]
