Samarkand: towards the outskirts

Bibi-Khanym mausoleum

The mausoleum, showing the inscriptions on the cupola, of Bibi-Khanym (Bibi Xonum), the oldest wife of Timur, after whom the huge mosque across the street is named. It used to be part of a large madrasah, but was destroyed during the invasion of Shah Nadir in 1740.
