Or nifty necropolis, depending on your allegiance to alliteration obsessions. This group of understated mausoleums belongs to the family Sayyids.

Depending on the play of light, looking a little like a Native American Pueblo complex. OK, some tile work snuck into the place.
A small, simple mosque is included.
The graves in the various mausoleums have a nice symmetry.
Building for the future. Just outside the complex and random ruins, a large mosque is under construction.
