Aksaray mausoleum, Historical mausoleum in Samarkand, Uzbekistan
The Aksaray Mausoleum features a rectangular structure with a central dome, three distinct rooms, and an octagonal marble crypt accessible through a narrow passage.
Built in the 15th century during the Timurid dynasty, the mausoleum stands 30 meters southeast of the Gur-Emir Mausoleum and underwent restorations in 1924 and 2007.
The interior walls display traditional Central Asian craftsmanship through glazed mosaics, while the dome exhibits kundal technique paintings incorporating gold ornamentations.
The mausoleum remains open to visitors and serves as a starting point for exploring nearby monuments, including the Hazret-Hyzr Mosque and Registan Square.
Research suggests the mausoleum was built for Abd al Latif, who could not be buried in Gur-Emir Mausoleum with his father Mirzo Ulugbek due to family conflicts.
