KHOJA AHMET YASAWI MAUSOLEUM - KAZAKHSTAN
The Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, in the town of Yasi, now
Turkestan, was built at the time of Timur (Tamerlane), from 1389 to
1405. In this partly unfinished building, Persian master builders
experimented with architectural and structural solutions later used in the
construction of Samarkand, the capital of the Timurid Empire. Today, it
is one of the largest and best-preserved constructions of the Timurid period.
