Shakhrisabz, the birthplace of Timur
Dorut Tilyovat (House of Meditation), the original burial complex of Timur’s forebears. Under the dome on the left is the Mausoleum of Sheikh Shamseddin Kulyal (built in 1373-1374), the spiritual tutor to Timur and his father, Amir Taragay (who might also be buried here). The mausoleum was built by Timur in 1373-1374.
