Khodzha Abdu-Derun Mausoleum, 14th-century mausoleum in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.
The Khodzha Abdu-Derun Mausoleum displays intricate tile work and a domed structure characteristic of Timurid architecture from Central Asia.
Built during the 1300s, this mausoleum became the final resting place for Khodzha Abdu-Derun, a prominent Sufi religious figure in medieval Samarkand.
The mausoleum features detailed Islamic calligraphy and geometric patterns that demonstrate the mathematical precision of medieval Central Asian craftsmen.
Visitors can reach the mausoleum through local transportation services from central Samarkand, with guided tours available in multiple languages.
The structure contains specific acoustic properties that allow whispered prayers to resonate throughout the interior chamber.
