Özet:

 The Golden Horde State, one of the most important factors in the Turko-Mongolian history, has managed to influence the political and economic parameters on a regional scale since its establishment. In addition to the policies it pursued, the location chosen for the capital of the state, Saray, was of great importance in this success. In addition to hosting the political activities of the Golden Horde, the city of Saray also managed to become one of the important stops of regional commercial activities. Saray became a city where vassal states declared their allegiance, was frequently visited by embassies in the framework of diplomatic activities, where scholars, clergy and artisans could find a fertile environment for themselves, where travelers, missionaries and merchants could visit with peace of mind, and became one of the important routes for trade caravans. However, the political, social, cultural, religious and economic fabric of this city has not been sufficiently revealed until today due to lack of resources. This study tries to reveal the position and importance of the city of Saray in the medieval world in various aspects.

 Türk-Moğol tarihinin önemli sacayaklarından biri olan Altın Orda Devleti, kurulduğu ilk andan itibaren bölgesel çapta siyasi ve ekonomik parametreleri etkilemeyi başarmıştır. Bu başarısında izlediği politikaların yanı sıra devletin başkenti Saray için seçtiği konum büyük bir öneme sahip olmuştur. Saray şehri Altın Orda Devletinin siyasi faaliyetlerine ev sahipliği yapmanın yanı sıra bölgesel ticari faaliyetlerin önemli duraklarından biri haline gelmeyi de başardı. Saray, vassal devletlerin itaatini bildirdiği, diplomatik faaliyetler çerçevesinde elçilik heyetlerinin sık sık ziyaret ettiği, alimler, din adamları ve zanaatkarların kendileri için verimli bir ortam bulabildiği, seyyahların, misyonerlerin ve tüccarların gönül rahatlığıyla ziyaret edebildiği, ticaret kervanları için önemli güzergahlardan biri haline gelen bir şehir olmuştur. Ne var ki bu şehrin siyasi, sosyal, kültürel, dini ve ekonomik dokusu, kaynakların yetersizliği dolayısıyla günümüze kadar yeterince ortaya konulamamıştır. Bu çalışma, Saray şehrinin Orta Çağ dünyasındaki konumunu ve önemini çeşitli yönleriyle ortaya koymaya çalışmaktadır.
