The Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi
Admire Persian miniature paintings and exquisite designs on façades of The Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, a World Heritage Site that's one of the largest and best-preserved architectural complexes of the Timurid period. An impressive turquoise dome, with ochre and blue patterns, makes this edifice a masterwork of architecture. Housing the tomb of the 12th century Sufi master, the complex was built from 1389 to 1405 by Tamerlane, whose death caused it to remain unfinished. Persian masters experimented with the style, which was later used in Samarkand.

Who was not very I advise to visit.View original -

カザフスタンの中央南部、トゥルキスタンの街にある廟。イスラムの伝道者アフメド・ヤサウィを祀っています。もともと小さな廟があったのですが、ティムールの命によりより大きな建物の建設が始まったものの、彼の死により未完に終わっています。それは、廟の正面に残る木製の足場から見て取れます。中に入るには女性はスカーフか帽子などで頭を隠す必要があります。中央のどデカイ窯が置かれた大広間の周りには応接室、礼拝堂、図... more »
