This unfinished mausoleum is located in the city of Turkistan in southern Kazakhstan. It was commissioned in 1389 by Tamerlane to replace a smaller 12th-century mausoleum of the famous Sufi master, Khoja Ahmed Yasavi. The building, one of the largest for its time, was left unfinished after Tamerlane's death in 1405.
