Merchants Inn

The stock image of a merchant’s inn typically depicts a roadside inn where travelers could rest and purchase food and provisions for their journey. The inn would typically have a central courtyard with rooms on multiple levels surrounding it.

The image might show travelers with their pack animals, or merchants haggling over goods. The inn would be busy and bustling, with people coming and going throughout the day and night. This type of inn would have been common in ancient times, as people needed places to rest and replenish themselves during long journeys.

In the Bible, the story of the Good Samaritan takes place at an inn like this, where a traveler is helped by a stranger after being robbed and left for dead.
