... 8217;s Inn, one of only two surviving caravanserais in Europe, recently restored as a major restaurant and beer garden, with tables in the large courtyard. The massive shingled roof is currently undergoing repair, with two workers on the roof hammering away at a new, blond wood section of the roof.
