Located on the site of an ancient cemetery, which was revered in the past. Erected in the IX century in the traditional Sogdian style, but with the use of more durable materials. The external features of the building refer to the vision of the creators of the world. At the base is a square – the symbol of the earth, and crowned its dome – the vault of heaven. Three theologians, including the founder of the Samanid dynasty, are buried in the mausoleum.
