Astana-Baba-Mausoleum, Islamic mausoleum in Kerki, Turkmenistan.

The Astana-Baba Mausoleum features four domed buildings connected by corridors, with ornate brickwork and traditional Islamic architectural elements throughout the structure.

Dating from the 12th century, the mausoleum underwent multiple expansions, with the most recent modifications commissioned by the Emir of Bukhara in 1920.

The mausoleum complex serves as both a religious monument and pilgrimage site, with thousands of visitors arriving each year seeking spiritual healing.

Located 12 kilometers northwest of Atamurat and 190 kilometers southeast of Turkmenabad, the mausoleum remains accessible via the main road.

The complex includes the Kizlyar-Bibi Mausoleum with twin tombs, representing architectural additions from the 19th century within the historical structure.
