    The caravanserai was built in 1659 by Hüseyin Pascha under the Ottoman Grand Vizier Rüstem Pascha. The architect was Mehmet Ağa. It has a rectangular floor plan of 47.75 meters × 23.60 meters.

    The caravanserai was on the caravan route that led from Istanbul to Aleppo in Syria and on to Egypt. The resting place (Mansio) Tardequeia was already located here in Roman times. A fragment of a milestone with a Latin inscription was found in nearby Narlıören. Tardequeia is mentioned in various Roman itineraries, such as the Itinerarium Antonini and the Itinerarium Burdigalense.

    The building was restored in 2006.
