A caravanserai — Turkish historical roadside inns built to accommodate traders along ancient trade routes — erected 800 years ago has now found itself precariously perched on the edge of an ever-expanding sinkhole in the central Anatolian province of Konya.

The structure, located in Konya’s Karatay district beside the Kızören sinkhole, has been meticulously transformed into a museum-hotel following a three-year restoration.

Furnished with historical artifacts, from kitchenware to tables and chairs, each room boasts underfloor-heated Turkish baths.

This establishment, which showcases historical artifacts and relics gathered from the surrounding area, offers guests a breathtaking view of the Kızören Sinkhole, measuring 180 meters in diameter and plunging 145 meters in depth.

Opened merely two months ago, the hotel has already exceeded expectations, attracting far “more visitors than anticipated” to this dangerous tourism destination.
