Shamseddin Kulal mausoleum in Shahrisabz

Uzbekistan

Shamsuddin Kulol Mausoleum is a 15th-century architectural monument in the city of Shahrisabz, Qashqadaryo Region, Uzbekistan. It was built on the grave of Amir Temur's father Amir Taragoi and Shamsuddin Kulol, Temur's teacher. The Shamsuddin Kulol Mausoleum is the first example of a new architectural style formed during the period of Amir Temur, especially the structure under the dome inside the building – intersecting arches and shield-like decorations between them had an important influence on the architectural style. Shamsuddin Kulol mausoleum is located in the "Dorut Tilavat" complex.
