In 1435, 30 years after the death of Amir Timur, Kok Gumbaz, the largest mosque in Shakhrisabz, was opened. The creation of this mosque was conceived, on the one hand, as a tribute and homage to its eminent Timurid family. This is confirmed by the inscription left by the masters at the entrance to the mosque, which tells that the mosque was erected "From Father Shahrukh". On the other hand, the sacred place became the center of attraction of all believers in one place. On the third, the prayer center was an excellent logical completion of "Dorut Tilavat", the architectural complex. The rich architectural structure was designed in the style of the 15th century by talented artists, invited by Mirzo Ulugbek, the ruler of that time. Burnt and white bricks were used in the laying of the building, on top of which patterned tiles made of majolica, blue glaze, luxurious molding were incorporated. Ornaments and murals are mostly white, blue flowers, as well as calm and warm colors.

Did not understand why we have to pay separately to enter two very small rooms. Bad experience with ticketing.

The dome is very iconic. A great example of Central Asian mosques.

Lovely mosque and mausoleums, all beautifully maintained.

Beautiful ancient mosque built by Ulugbek (Amir Temur's grandson and successor), in Honor of Shah Rukh (Amir Temur's son and Ulugbek's father). It has beautiful blue carvings and ornaments full of Arabic inscription like most of the historical sites in Uzbekistan.

Beautiful.

An Islamic complex located in the city's large park comprising a mosque and two mausoleums built side by side. It's worth going inside for the decor so as not to have bare legs and to avoid prayer times.

Very beautiful! Especially nighttime

Great history, very well kept, a pleasure to walk around.
