Kok Gumbaz Mosque In Shahrisabz

One of the finest buildings in Shahrisabz is the old Kok Gumbaz mosque. The place was built about 1435 for Shah Rukh Mirzo by his son. What a great boy.

Classic Timurid, Silk Road in style. Tan brick, blue and green tile, arched entry.

There's a nice courtyard in front of the mosque with a lone minaret. Nice tile grate work on a window.

View of the back of the mosque, multiple domes and foreground graves. Evidently, a lot to say on this person's final resting place.

Heading inside. Another gravestone, fabulous placement. A modest, whitewashed arcade area.

The main prayer area of the mosque, intricate designs on the walls, understated carpeting. Worship for one, please.
