Gur-e-Amir Mausoleum

The mausoleum of Amir Timur and the Timurid dynasty, dating from the 14th–15th centuries. Its blue-and-gold dome set the tradition of domes in Central Asian architecture. Timur's tomb is covered with green jade. Inside, the magnificent carving and gilded decoration are breathtaking. One of the most moving places to feel the weight of history.
