Semnan is a historical and cultural city which is placed on of the main and busy roads in the past and that’s why so many caravansaries were made on this road for passengers to take rest after travelling for a long time. You could see a huge number of caravanserais form Safavid dynasty. Repairing old caravanserais or building new ones were so common in that area. Ahowan Stony Caravanserai is located 42 kilometers eats of Semnan in Ahowan Village. Ahowan is a cold pass between Damghan and Semnan and in cold seasons, it is really hard to travel through it because of snow and frost. This caravanserai has got four rectangular porches with 24 rooms around it. Ahowan Shah Soleimani caravanserai which is also known as Stony Caravanserai is made from stone and a special material called Sarooj. There was a stony inscription above the main entrance door of this place which was unfortunately lost in recent years. Iranian architects had appropriate solutions for each climate in each area. For instance, in Ahowan Stony Caravanserai, a corridor was built to prevent cold weather coming inside the rooms that shows how talented the Iranian architects were. This caravanserai was repaired in Safavid dynasty. Join Alaedin Travel to visit the beauties of Semnan in a different way.
