Miandasht Caravanserai is a brick and mortar structure in Meyami Rural District, Iran, representing the layered architectural heritage of two dynastic periods—the Safavid and Qajar eras. Built as a caravanserai, a roadside inn designed to accommodate traveling merchants and their caravans, the complex exemplifies the practical architectural ensemble that facilitated trade across the Persian plateau. Recognized as part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and designated as an Iranian National Heritage property, Miandasht preserves the building traditions and spatial organization characteristic of these important periods in Islamic architecture.
