Khodja Akhmed Yasaui Mausoleum
A huge amount of ancient monuments, more than 800, remained there. Turkistan used to be one of the most significant trade and political centers of the whole Central Asian region for many centuries. Until the 18th century, Turkistan, or Yasi, as it used to be called, was the capital of the Kazakh Khanate formed in the 15th century. Many ancient monuments are retained in the city; striking architecture of the city surprisingly passed through a millennium with practically unchanged appearance. The humanist and preacher Akhmed Yasaui founded a theological school there. When the famous Sufi Khodja Akhmed Yasaui read a sermon in the city Turkistan became quite well known.
This monument is a masterpiece of medieval architecture, mausoleum, consisting of a complex of palaces and temples. Fine furnishings and interior decorations of walls will impress anyone.
