Samarkand: towards the outskirts

Hodja Abdi Darun Mausoleum

The Hodja Abdi Darun Mausoleum (Sadriddin Ayni), sharing a tranquil, shady courtyard with a mosque and a hauz (artificial stone pool). It is associated with the name of ninth century Arab jurist Abd al-Mazeddin. Seljuk Sultan Sanjar erected a mausoleum for him in the 12th century, rebuilt by Ulugh Beg in the 15th century behind a khanagha with portal and dome. In the 19th century a mosque and madrasah completed the ensemble set around a large hauz.
