Abstract: (2231 Views)
During the Qajar period, relations between Iran and Europe expanded. Since the commercial and political highway, from the capital of the Qajar state in Tehran to Bandar Anzali on the northern border, was considered a strategic passage in the communication network of Iran with Russia and Europe. It was necessary to make fundamental changes in the field of road construction, repair, development and establishment of inter-road places. Among them, the oldest and most important service places were caravanserais. The caravanserais of this route, in addition to their functions of economic prosperity and cultural exchange, also played an effective role in Iran's foreign relations. The main purpose of this research is the typology of architecture, the influence of the role of climate and geographical location in the architectural formation process of these caravanserais. The findings have been collected and researched based on library sources and field investigation method. The method of data analysis was qualitative.The results show that the largest number of caravanserais were outside the city. The variety of climatic conditions in this route has not been adapted to the architectural form of caravanserais. Although the different geographical location has caused minor differences in the architectural elements of some of them, all these types were built similar to the architecture of four-evans caravanserais with courtyards of the Safavid period. A small number of other caravanserais were of the inner-city type. And their architectural form was in accordance with the geography and climate of the regions where they were located.
