Jahongir Mausoleum
The mausoleum of Jahongir, built in the 14th and 15th centuries by Khorezm craftsmen for Temur's twenty-two-year-old son, who died suddenly, rises in the southwestern part of Shakhrisabz and is part of the Dorus-Saodat memorial ensemble, which was intended for the entire Temurid dynasty.
The mausoleum building admires the slimness and elegance of the three-domed structure, consisting of an internal decorative dome, an unloading middle and an external conical dome. The crypt's decor is distinguished by the ornamental arrangements of glazed bricks with majolica and mosaic inserts.
The Dorus-Saodat Memorial Ensemble, which means "Repository of Power," consisted of three parts before being destroyed by the troops of the Sheibanid ruler Abdullahan II in the second half of the 16th century: the mausoleum of Jahangir, the mosque of Khazri Imam and the crypt of Temur, in which, by the will of fate, he was never buried.
