Pakhlavan Mahmoud Mausoleum
Pakhlavan Mahmoud Mausoleum, Islamic mausoleum in Khiva, Uzbekistan
The mausoleum features a double dome structure with blue glazed tiles and a gilded top, located within the ancient walls of Itchan Kala.
Originally constructed as a modest building over Mahmoud's furrier shop, the mausoleum expanded between 1810 and 1835 under the direction of Kungrad khans.
The mausoleum contains religious inscriptions and verses attributed to Pakhlavan Mahmoud, a revered 14th-century poet, philosopher, and wrestler from Khiva.
Visitors can explore multiple chambers within the complex, including the main hall with khan sarcophagi and a separate room housing Pakhlavan Mahmoud's gravestone.
The 1913 secondary mausoleum, intended for Isfandiyar Khan, now contains the tombs of his mother and son following his assassination.
