GUR E AMIR

Gur-e-Amir Mausoleum is the final resting place of Timur, also known as Tamerlane, his sons, and his grandsons. It is a modest building with a fluted azure dome and a beautiful portal. During the night, the beauty of the building increases because of the spotlight done for the grand effect.

The stones in the mausoleums are just markers and the actual crypts are buried in the chamber beneath. The mausoleum has plain marble and beautifully crafted walls. Many later architectures are inspired by this beautiful mausoleum and this beautiful place is one of the best tourist places in Uzbekistan.
