Ak-Saray Palace, Medieval palace ruins in Shahrisabz, Uzbekistan
The remaining entrance portal of Ak-Saray Palace stands 38 meters high, featuring intricate patterns of ocher and blue glazed bricks across its facade.
Construction of this royal residence began in 1380 under Timur's rule and continued for 24 years until 1404, marking the zenith of Timurid architecture.
The palace walls display detailed mosaic work combining geometric patterns with religious calligraphic inscriptions created by artisan Muhammad Yusuf Tebrizi from Tabriz.
Visitors can explore the preserved sections of the palace within a designated park area situated north of Shahrisabz's historic center.
The entrance portal contained the largest arch in Central Asia, spanning 22 meters before its collapse three centuries ago.
