Ruhabad Mausoleum

Registan

It is located in the central part of Samarkand. Amir Timur ordered the construction of the mausoleum in 1380 over the tomb of Sheikh Burhaneddin Klych Sagarji. The latter was known as a preacher, theologian and scholar. The cube-shaped building has an area of 168 square meters and a height of 24 meters, including the dome. The decoration of the walls is practically absent. They are covered with alabaster, only the entrance-arcs are finished with carved tiles.
