Ishrat-Khana Mausoleum, 15th-century mausoleum in Samarkand, Uzbekistan

The mausoleum measures 30 by 22.4 meters and features a two-story structure with multiple rooms decorated with stone, wood, and elaborate tiles.

Construction began during the reign of Timurid ruler Abu-Said between 1451 and 1469, serving as a burial site for female members of the dynasty.

The architectural design incorporates both religious and ceremonial spaces, including designated areas for funeral prayers on each floor of the structure.

The mausoleum stands at coordinates 39.643056 latitude and 66.990556 longitude in the southeastern section of Samarkand, near other historical monuments.

A waqf document from 1464 reveals that Habiba Sultan built the structure over her daughter Malika Havand Sultanbegim's grave in just three years.
