Najmiddin kubro maqbarasi

The mausoleum consists of three interconnected chambers with domed roofs, featuring detailed geometric patterns crafted from glazed tiles in white, blue, and brown colors.

The structure commemorates Sheikh Najmiddin Kubro, founder of the Kubraviyya Sufi order, who died defending the city during the Mongol invasion in 1221.

The mausoleum integrates Central Asian architectural elements with Persian influences, displaying intricate muqarnas decorations and calligraphic inscriptions throughout its walls.

Visitors enter through an ornately carved wooden door into the main chamber, which contains the central tomb structure and connects to smaller prayer and burial rooms.

The interior dome structure rests on a sixteen-sided drum decorated with ganch stalactites, setting a pattern that influenced later Khwarezm architectural developments.
