The Shah Abbasi Caravanserai of Ganja is a Safavid-era structure built in 1700 under the order of Iranian Shah Abbas, designed by architect Sheykh Baha al-din. Located in Ganja, Azerbaijan, this caravanserai functioned as a waystation for merchants and travelers. The complex was ingeniously connected to the adjacent Chokak Hamam and Shah Abbas Mosque via underground passages, creating an integrated architectural ensemble. Recognized as a cultural heritage monument of national importance by the Azerbaijani government in 2001, the caravanserai remains a significant example of Safavid commercial architecture in the Caucasus.
