Shahgali Khan Mausoleum, Tatar mausoleum in Kasimov, Russia

Shahgali Khan Mausoleum is a white-stone tomb in Kasimov built in 1556, measuring 13.5 by 8.5 metres and standing about 5 metres high. It has two rooms: a large burial chamber holding the grave of Shah Ali Khan, his wife and some relatives, and a small room for memorial prayers and Quran reading. Above the door to the large room, a two-line inscription names Shah Ali Khan, son of Sheikh-Auliar Sultan, as the builder.

The tomb was built in 1556 as the resting place for Shahgali Khan, an influential figure in Tatar governance of Kasimov. Its construction marked an important moment in the city's history and the region's Tatar presence.

The name tekiye comes from the Tatar word for a burial place. Inside, a small room served for memorial prayers and Quran readings, while the large hall holds the graves of Shahgali Khan, his wife Bulak-Shad and relatives. Above the door to the large hall, a two-line inscription names Shahgali Khan, son of Sheikh-Auliar Sultan, as the builder and states that the tomb was erected during his lifetime.

The tomb is accessible year-round and receives regular maintenance as a protected heritage site. Visitors can easily locate it and should plan to view the details of the stonework and carved elements.

An inscription above the door to the main burial chamber names Shah-Ali Khan, son of Sheikh-Auliar Sultan, as the builder and states the tomb was erected during his lifetime; a second line reads that there is no god but Allah. The gravestones were already in poor condition by the 19th century, damaged less by time than by human hands.
