Editor's Note
The Argıt Han is a Seljuk caravanserai believed to have stood in the town of Argıthanı on the Konya-Akşehir road, though no trace of it survives today. It is thought to have been built by Şemseddin Altunaba in the early 13th century. Some researchers, however, argue that this structure is in fact the present-day Altınapa Caravanserai. Kurt Erdmann visited this caravanserai on 26 August 1953, when its ruins still existed. By his own assessment, the caravanserai must date to the 12th or early 13th century.
