خاناتها

Arabic to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Hi everyone,

Does this mean stalls? (in a marketplace)


أذكر منزل جدتي في الحلب، وشرفتها المعبقة بروائح الياسمين ، المشي في أسواق الحلب القديمة، خاناتها ومساجدها وكنائسها

Thanks!

its caravanserais

"Caravanserais were roadside inns, providing shelter, food and water for caravans, pilgrims and other travellers. The routes and the locations of the caravanserais were determined by the presence of water, geographical conditions and security concerns."
https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1668/

"Located between the eastern Mediterranean coast and the Euphrates Valley at the crossroads of several trade routes since the 2nd millennium B.C., Aleppo stands out as ­one of the key centers along the legendary Silk Roads. Aleppo is one of the world's oldest continually inhabited urban cities. Its architecture reflects the influences of its successive rulers: Hittites, Assyrians, Akkadians, Greeks, Persians, Romans, Umayyads, Ayyubids, Mameluks and Ottomans. Inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1986, the ancient city of Aleppo contains the renowned Citadel, the 12th-century Great Mosque and various madrasas, residences and caravanserais (khans). These historic monuments bear witness to the social, cultural and economic exchanges that flourished in Aleppo during the Golden Age of the Silk Roads from 12th to the early 15th centuries."

"Khan al-Wazir is a caravanserai located in the old city of Aleppo between the Citadel and the Great Mosque."

"وخاناتها التي كانت بمثابة فنادق وأسواق للمسافرين باعتبار أنَّ حلب كانت مركزاً تجارياً"
"مأوى المسافرين والخان هذا؛ هو بناءٌ يتألف من طابقين الطابق الأوَّل لسكن التجار الأغرابِ، ولمبيت الضيوف والمسافرين. أمَّا الطابق الأرضي فلتفريغ وعرض البضائع التي كان ينقلها المسافرون في طريقهم من وإلى بلدانهم، كما كان فيها إسطبلات لمبيت الخيول والجمال.والخانات هذه كثيرةٌ منها ما كان مُشاداً خارج حلب، ومنها ما كان يقع على أطرافها أو داخل سوقها"

"وكلمة خان فارسية الأصل تعني المكان الرفيع أو المنزل, وكانت تستخدم في بلاد الشام للدلالة على المكان الذي يضم حوانيت التجارة, كما كانت الخانات الحصن الأمين الذي تلجأ إليه قوافل التجار للمبيت وتبادل البضائع."
"وقد بنيت الخانات لأغراض تجارية و كفنادق للمبيت, وقد وصل عدد الخانات في مدينة حلب إلى مائة وخمسين خان في نهايات القرن التاسع عشر."

The term "shop" includes stalls, stores, cafes, workshops, etc.
There is another meaning of خان; that is "inn", but the meant places here are " shops".
