The Jrapi Caravansarai is a medieval caravansarai located near Jrapi, Armenia. [1] The Jrapi structure is similar to the Aruch Caravansarai, with the latter featuring stone arches, three parallel chambers, and a single entrance for people and animals. [2] In the 1970s, the Jrapi Caravansarai was moved in its entirety to its current location due to the damming of the Akhurian River. [3] The caravansarai is currently adjacent to two medieval church buildings. [1]
