Mausoleum of Tokhtamysh's daughter

The octagonal stone mausoleum features traditional Islamic architectural elements with intricate carvings and decorated portal entrance leading to the burial chamber.

Built in 1437, this türbe marks the final resting place of Canike, daughter of Tokhtamysh, who ruled the Golden Horde during the late 14th century.

The mausoleum represents the intersection of Crimean Tatar, Islamic, and local architectural traditions, displaying the craftsmanship of medieval stone carvers.

The mausoleum stands within the ancient cave city of Chufut-Kale, requiring visitors to ascend steep paths and purchase entrance tickets at the main gate.

The stone inscriptions on the mausoleum walls contain genealogical information about the Golden Horde dynasty and medieval Crimean nobility.
