Yunus Khan Mausoleum
Yunus Khan Mausoleum

Yunus Khan of Moghulistan (1415-1487) was a gifted man and influential politician. He ruled over Tashkent and the Fergana Valley, and was remembered by posterity as a wise ruler.

 Interestingly, Yunus Khan was a descendant of Genghis Khan, and his grandson was the great military leader and poet Zakhiriddin Babur.

The Yunus Khan Mausoleum is one of the largest surviving 15th-century structures, with a pointed portal and double dome. The mausoleum was once a haven for dervishes and pilgrims, who were housed in special cells.

 The entrance portal is decorated with calligraphic inscriptions and a carved door.

Interestingly, the mausoleum itself contains no burial site, and its location is unknown, but the mausoleum upholds the ruler's memory.

The mausoleum is located on the grounds of the Islamic University.
