Kok Gumbaz mosque in Shahrisabz, 15th century mosque in Shahrisabz, Uzbekistan.
The Kok Gumbaz mosque features a central dome measuring 46 meters in diameter, supported by four arches that create a large prayer hall.
Built in 1437 under the direction of Ulugbek to honor his father Shakhruh, the mosque stands as the largest Friday prayer structure in Shahrisabz.
The interior walls display intricate dark and light blue ornamental patterns, while Quranic inscriptions in white glazed tiles encircle the dome.
The mosque maintains its function as an active place of worship while welcoming visitors to explore its architectural and historical elements.
A bronze cauldron from the 14th century remains within the mosque complex, predating the structure itself by several decades.
