Konye-Urgench, Archaeological site in northern Turkmenistan.
The archaeological zone includes the remnants of several mausoleums, minarets, and fortifications spread across a vast desert plain near the Uzbekistan border.
The city flourished as the capital of the Khwarazmian Empire from the 10th to 14th centuries until Genghis Khan's forces devastated it in 1221.
The Turabek-Khanum Mausoleum displays advanced mathematical patterns in its dome design, with mosaics depicting celestial and floral motifs.
The nearest modern settlement with accommodation facilities is Dashoguz, located 100 kilometers from the archaeological site.
The Kutlug-Timur Minaret rises 60 meters into the sky, making it the tallest brick minaret constructed during the 11th and 12th centuries.
