dc.description	This caravanserai is situated near the village of Susuz Koy on the Antalya-Burdur highway. Today only its covered part, built on a square measuring 26 x 26 meters, exists. The pendentives of the dome have three rows of stones and the dome itself has six. There are sixteen stone pillars in the interior in four horizontal rows. There are two naves vaulted vertically on the right and left sides of the domed middle nave with a long vault over the axis of the door. This indicates that five of the vaults are on the right side and the other five on the left of the middle nave. The supporting arches of the middle vault rest on corbels and have a sharp profile. The width of the middle vault is 4.90 meters, and that of the others 4.40 meters. There are no windows in the covered part. The inscription of the caravanserai has not survived...it is highly probable that the Susuz Han belongss to the period of Giyaseddin Keyhusrev II and was completed some time before 1246. The style of the caravanserai is also suggestive of this period.	en_US
