The Selim Caravanserai, built in 1332 by Prince Chesar Orbelian and bearing his Armenian-language inscription, sits on the 2,410-meter Selim Pass in Vayots Dzor — a high-altitude rest stop on the medieval route connecting Persia to the Black Sea. Its three-aisle basalt-vaulted hall with stone troughs for caravan animals remains structurally intact and accessible to visitors.
