Bedasht Caravanserai is a Safavid-era caravanserai located in Shahrud County, Iran, designated as an Iranian national heritage site. Built from rubble, brick, mud, and lime mortar with plaster finishes, this waystation exemplifies the architectural traditions of the Safavid period, when such structures served as vital rest stops along trade routes across the Persian plateau. The caravanserai's modest material palette and construction methods reflect the practical building standards of its era, designed to provide shelter and accommodation to merchants and travelers moving along the great trade networks that connected the Iranian heartland.
