    Stunning attraction. The chamber hosting the tomb was simply magnificent with incredible intricate decorations on walls and ceiling. The entire chamber gleamed in a golden glow. There were amazing complex details on the tiles, wall and ceiling fittings. A must-see attraction in Samarkand

    Alleged final resting place of Amir Temur (in the black coffin). Lit up at night for extra special effects. Unfortunately, the crypt was closed so couldn't verify if Amir was actually there or not...

    I dragged Deb out to see Timur's Mausoleum, about 15 minutes walk away from the Registan through a pleasant park. The park had lots of information on the gardens that Timur had built around the city as well as two huge bronze tigers and some nice fountains. The Mausoleum was very similar to all the other Timurid buildings we'd seen - no shock there - but we had a very polite greeting from the security guard and he welcomed us to his country which was lovely. It's unusual to go somewhere that has so few Western tourists that when they do arrive they are a novelty. Especially in the conext of Hamas insane attacks on Israel this weekend that have killed 600 people. The interior of the mausoleum was beautifully decorated in gold that seemed much less gaudy than the gold in European buildings, maybe because the Timurid blue tones it down compared to the royal red in Europe. The complex here is quite large and beautiful and by the look of the ruins around it must have been massive at one time. Well looked after now and clean, like all the other attractions we have seen.

    The Amir Timur Mausoleum is an important monument in Samarkand. It contains the tombs of Amir Timur, his son, grand son and his teacher Sayyid Baraka. The architecture of this monument has influence on the Mughal architecture in India. The interior of the Mausoleum is beautiful.

    Lovely architecture, great detailing at the main entrance as well as the tomb. There is a shop at sight where you can find books about Uzbek history in English. Easy ticket purchasing at the counter, gets pretty crowded during the day.

    Really beautiful Islamic architecture housing the burials for a few of the better known royalties of the Timurid Dynasty, including the great Tamerlane himself. There was a curse associated with his jade sealed coffin - whoever that attempted to open it, had severe bad luck. Wonderful stories and myths there besides the grandeur of the interior. This was also our first sightseeing in Samarkand

    If you visit this place, I assume you love history and come here with a guide to get a proper explanation of what each site was used for in the past. It was majestic and I couldn't get enough of the blue hues. Each carvings, each structure has a history and meaning behind it, makes you wonder what a great empire Amir Temur has built. This site is the burial site of Amir Temur, his teacher/advisor, and his blood relatives.

    The 14th-century mausoleum of the Mongol conqueror Timur. Though it has suffered from time and earthquakes, the monument is still sumptuous. Completed in 1404, it was originally intended to be the tomb of Timur’s grandson Muhammad Shah, but after Timur’s death in 1405 he was interred there as well, along with other members of his family. The extant structures in the complex consist of a chapel crowned with a ribbed blue-tiled dome, enclosed by a wall, and fronted by an archway. The interior walls are covered with elegant turquoise arabesques and inscriptions in gold. The Gūr-e Amīr is one of the properties included in the 2001 designation of Samarkand as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

    This a good place to start your exploration of the historic sites if Samarkand. It is not as big of a circus as the famous Registan, but the decoration is no less impressive. The tomb room is particularly noteworthy and awe-inspiring.

    This is a must-see in Samarkand, about a 10-minute walk from the Registan. You enter a huge, majestic building with courtyard. A corridor leads to a room whose walls are made of onyx and are painted with gold and azure colours. The tomb itself is made of black jade. The intricate artwork everywhere is simply breathtaking. Adult tickets: 30,000 Som/€2.40.

    Amir Temur is a military leader and ruler who has played an important role in the history of Central, South and West Asia as well as the Caucasus, the Volga and Russia. The commander, the founder of the Timurid Empire (1370) with the capital Samarkand. Amir Temur was born on April 9, 1336 in the village of Khodja Ilgar (Yakkabag) near Kesh (Shakhrisabz). According to the legend he was born with a bloodstain in his hand and hair white like that of an old man, the same was said of Genghis Khan.

His ancestors took a worthy place in the ranks of the palace elite of the Chagatai Ulus and derived their ancestry from the legendary leader of the Turks Alan-kuva, and their possessions were around Kesh and Nesef.

    One of Samarkand's "must visit" places. The insides of Amir Temur's mausoleum are beautiful and nothing like any other mausoleum in the city. It looks very rich and beautiful. The tomb is made of black jade, walls are made of onyx and painted with gold and azure colors. Entrance fee for locals is 5000 som, and for foreigners is 30000 som (around 3 USD).

    (Translated by Google) What the guide said: the tomb of the national hero Amor Timor. In the past he was called "Tamerlan" (the limp), since he has been a national hero, you can no longer say that: national heroes have no defects. To the right of this is a building for dervishes. Muhamed Sultan. Two of his sons died, two more were unsuitable. The choice fell on the grandson Timor. The tried and tested at home, but in order to take over the empire, it had to be tested whether he was just as talented as a military leader. Took part in all the battles but died suddenly on the return trip 1402-03-18. He was probably poisoned out of rivalry. The foundation of the mausoleum consists of lime, sand, grape molasses and clay. The dome sits on a drum (tambour) and has two shells: inside and outside dome. Because of the shape of the outer dome, this is also called the melon dome. A huge stone reading support is exhibited in the forecourt. On this lay a large Koran, which is considered the oldest Koran today. Next to it is a large stone container. According to legend, before a battle it was filled with pomegranate juice and all soldiers had to drink from it. Napoleon is said to have given his soldiers wine with opium before the fight, IS still does this today. (Original) Was die Führerin erzählte: das Grabmal des Nationalhelden Amor Timor. Früher hieß er „Tamerlan“ (der Hinkende), seit er Nationalheld ist, darf man das nicht mehr sagen: Nationalhelden haben keine Defekte. Rechts davon Gebäude für Derwische. Muhamed Sultan. Zwei seiner Söhne starben, zwei weitere waren ungeeignet. Die Wahl fiel auf den Enkel Timor. Der bewährte sich zu Hause, aber um das Reich zu übernehmen, musste er getestet werden, ob er genauso talentiert als Heerführer sei. Nahm an allen Schlachten teil, starb jedoch bei der Rückreise 1402-03-18 plötzlich. Vermutlich wurde er aus Rivalität vergiftet. Das Fundament des Mausoleums besteht aus Kalk, Sand, Traubenmelasse und Lehm. Die Kuppel sitzt auf einer Trommel (Tambur) und ist zweischalig: Innen und Außenkuppel. Wegen der Gestalt der Außenkuppel wird diese auch Melonenkuppel genannt. An Vorplatz wird eine riesige, steinerne Lesestütze ausgestellt. Auf dieser lag ein großer Koran, der heute als der älteste Koran überhaupt gilt. Daneben ein großer, steinerner Behälter. Der Sage nach wurde der vor einer Schlacht mit Granatapfelsaft gefüllt und alle Soldaten mussten davon trinken. Napoleon soll vor dem Kampf seinen Soldaten auch Wein mit Opium gegeben haben, der IS macht das auch heute noch.

    One of the top sites to visit in Samarkand after The Registan. The mausoleum and burial place of Tamerlane. His black tomb lies in the centre of the mausoleum. Supposedly there was a curse on anyone who interfered with the tomb. Two days after Soviet archaeologists opened the tomb the Nazis launched Operation Barbarossa causing Stalin to ask he be reburied immediately.

    (Translated by Google) The Tamerlane mausoleum (Persian: گور امیر, Gur-e Amir) is the mausoleum of the Mongol conqueror Timur, better known in the west as Tamerlane. The mausoleum is located in the city of Samarkand in present-day Uzbekistan. It occupies a fundamental place in the history of Islamic architecture and in particular for the Azerbaijani style of architecture, it was also a precursor and model for the later large tombs of Mughal architecture, including the tomb of Humayun in Delhi and the Taj Mahal in Agra. The complex has undergone major renovations. Gur-e Amir means "tomb of the king" in Persian. The complex contains the tombs of Tamerlane, his sons Shah Rukh and Miran Shah and grandchildren Ulug Beg and Muhammad Sultan. Mir Sayyid Baraka, Tamerlane master, is also honored. The oldest part of the complex was built in the late 14th century by order of Muhammad Sultan. Currently only the foundations of madrassa and khanaka remain, the entrance portal and part of one of the four minarets. The construction of the actual mausoleum began in 1403, following the sudden death of Muhammad Sultan, Tamerlane's favorite nephew and designated heir. Tamerlane himself had built a smaller tomb for himself in Shahrisabz, near the palace of the Aq Saray, but when he died in 1405 - during his campaign for the conquest of China - all the mountain passes leading to Shahrisabz were unusable for the snow, and the leader had to be buried here. Ulug Beg, a high Tamerlane nephew, completed the work; during his reign the mausoleum became the family crypt of the Timurid dynasty. The entrance portal to the Muhammad Sultan complex is decorated with engraved bricks and various mosaics. The decorations of the portal were made by the expert master Muhammad bin Mahmud Isfahani. Externally the Gur-e Amir looks like a single-domed building. It is known for the simplicity of its construction and for its contemporary solemn monumentality: it looks like an octagon building crowned by a fluted blue dome. The external decoration of the masonry consists of blue, white and blue tiles arranged according to geometric patterns, together with epigraphs placed on a terracotta brick base. The dome (15 meters in diameter and 12.5 in height) is also bright blue in color, decorated with stars and white dots. The grooves are strongly highlighted. The portal was built during the reign of Ulug Beg to finally allow entry into the mausoleum. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Original) Il mausoleo di Tamerlano (persiano: گور امیر‎‎, Gur-e Amir) è il mausoleo del conquistatore mongolo Timur, meglio conosciuto in occidente come Tamerlano. Il mausoleo si trova nella città di Samarcanda nell'attuale Uzbekistan. Occupa un posto fondamentale nella storia della architettura islamica e in particolare per lo stile azero dell'architettura, inoltre fu precursore e modello per le posteriori grandi tombe dell'architettura Moghul, tra cui la tomba di Humayun a Delhi ed il Taj Mahal ad Agra. Il complesso è stato oggetto di importanti restauri. Gur-e Amir significa in persiano "tomba del re". Il complesso contiene le tombe di Tamerlano, dei suoi figli Shah Rukh e Miran Shah e dei nipoti Ulug Beg e Muhammad Sultan. Viene onorato anche Mir Sayyid Baraka, maestro di Tamerlano. La parte più antica del complesso fu costruita verso la fine del XIV secolo per ordine di Muhammad Sultan. Attualmente rimangono solo le fondazioni della madrassa e della khanaka, il portale di ingresso ed una parte di uno dei quattro minareti. La costruzione del mausoleo vero e proprio ebbe inizio nel 1403, in seguito alla morte improvvisa di Muhammad Sultan, nipote preferito da Tamerlano ed erede designato. Lo stesso Tamerlano aveva costruito per sé una tomba di minori dimensioni a Shahrisabz, vicino al palazzo dell'Aq Saray, ma quando questi morì nel 1405 - durante la sua campagna per la conquista della Cina - tutti i passi di montagna che conducevano a Shahrisabz erano inagibili per la neve, e il condottiero dovette esser seppellito qui. Ulug Beg, un alto nipote di Tamerlano, completò l'opera; durante il suo regno il mausoleo diventò la cripta di famiglia della dinastia timuride. Il portale d'ingresso al complesso di Muhammad Sultan è decorato con mattoni incisi e vari mosaici. Le decorazioni del portale furono realizzate dall'esperto maestro Muhammad bin Mahmud Isfahani. Esternamente il Gur-e Amir si presenta come un edificio ad una cupola. È noto per la semplicità della costruzione e per la sua contemporanea solenne monumentalità: si presenta come un edificio ottagono coronato da una cupola azzurra scanalata. La decorazione esterna della muratura consiste di piastrelle blu, bianche e azzurre disposte secondo motivi geometrici, insieme ad epigrafi poste su una base in mattoni di terracotta. La cupola (15 metri di diametro e 12,5 di altezza) è anch'essa di colore blu brillante, decorata da stelle ed punti bianchi. Le scanalature sono fortemente evidenziate. Il portale fu costruito durante il regno di Ulug Beg per permettere infine l'ingresso all'interno del mausoleo. Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera.

    Nice place the Gūr-i Amīr or Guri Amir (Uzbek: Amir Temur maqbarasi, Go'ri Amir, Persian: گورِ امیر‎) is a mausoleum of the Asian conqueror Timur (also known as Tamerlane) in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. It occupies an important place in the history of Persian-Mongolian Architecture as the precursor and model for later great Mughal architecture tombs, including Gardens of Babur in Kabul, Humayun's Tomb in Delhi and the Taj Mahal in Agra, built by Timur's Persianised descendants, the ruling Mughal dynasty of Indian Subcontinent. It has been heavily restored.

    One of the places worth visiting in Samarkand. It’s the resting place for Amir Timur, Ulug bek and other significant people in the city. The level of details and architecture is magnificent. One of the best if not the best in the city. Inside the tomb you will listen to Quran playing in a very low level in the background which adds a feel of peace to the place. Overall, in my opinion the place is worth visiting in Samarkand.

    (Translated by Google) best preserved than others - the tomb of Timur-Leng, the conqueror of the world, Turbeti-Timur. It is built of glazed brick outside, so the exterior walls are decorated with artistic mosaic arabesques. The mausoleum is octagonal, with a blue-glazed melon-shaped dome. On the sides of the dome are two powerful tall columns made of brick. Previously, a spiral staircase led upstairs, now you can climb it only with a danger to life. The columns are also covered with a mosaic pattern of glazed bricks. "Photo (1870) (Original) сохранившийся лучше других — усыпальница Тимур-Ленга, завоевателя мира, Тюрбети-Тимур. Она построена из кирпича, покрытого снаружи глазурью, так что наружные стены украшены художественными мозаичными арабесками. Мавзолей восьмигранный, с покрытым синей глазурью куполом в форме дыни. По сторонам купола возвышаются две мощные высокие колонны, сложенные из кирпича. Раньше в них вела наверх винтовая лестница, теперь по ней можно взобраться лишь с опасностью для жизни. Колонны также покрыты мозаичным узором из глазурованного кирпича".фото (1870)

    (Translated by Google) In fact, the place is known as "Gur Mir" - the grave of Mir Said Baraka, for the burial of the great Sheikh Amir Temur's elder Mir Said Baraka. But the pronunciation today is called the Guru Amir. This is not the original name of the mausoleum. The reason for this is probably because of the relative popularity of Amir Temur. However, as it is known in historical records, under the testament of Amir Temur, he was buried at the feet of his mentor, which indicates the status of the nobleman. Secondly, Amir Temur was buried in the mausoleum after Mir Said Baraka. (Original) Aslida bu joy nomi Buyuk shayx Amir Temurning piri Mir Said Baraka dafn etilganligi uchun "Go'ri Mir"-Mir yaʼni Mir Said Baraka qabri, nomini olgan. Ammo talaffuzda bugun Goʻri Amir deb ataladi. Bu maqbaraning asl nomi emas. Bunday atalishiga sabab,balki Amir Temurning nisbatan mashhurligi boʻlsa kerak. Ammo tarixiy maʼlumotlarda keltirilgnidek, Amir Temurning vasiyatiga koʻra uni ustozining oyoq tarafiga daft etishganligi, u zoti sharifning mavqeini koʻrsatib turibdi. Ikkinchidan Amir Temur bu maqbaraga Mir Said Barakadan keyin dafn etilgan.
