Abstract: Ancient Persia blended the architectural styles of Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon to form a richly decorated and distinctive architectural system, with caravansaras being one of its outstanding representatives. These caravansaras were widespread across Persian cities and countryside, providing lodging services for merchants traveling along the Silk Road. Renowned for their grand and intricate designs, many of their ruins have survived to this day. Research indicates that Persian inns on the Silk Road not only provided rest and supplies for the caravans, but also played an important role as a medium for cultural exchanges between different regions, and had a profound impact on the integration of Eastern and Western civilizations.

Key words: ancient civilizations, caravansaras, silk road, cultural exchange
