Özet:

Kargı Han, which is within the group of “shelter and services” in the typology of Anatolian Seljuk Hans, has so far been subjected to a few studies; never been subjected to a comprehensive study with its plan and structural elements, as well as a plan revealing the current situation has never been published. It can be easily observed that the current south facade of the building and the masonry portal, which exceedingly rising above the centreline of this facade and is the entrance to the courtyard, have been able to remain as a part of the original building design; on the other hand it can be claimed that, the spaces surrounding the courtyard along the eastern wing have been built in a much later period and formed into their current state most likely in the Ottoman era when they have certainly been used with new functions. A similar determination can also be done for the bath ruin located near the south-eastern corner of the han and thought as built in the same period with it.
