Yunus Khan of Moghulistan (1415-1487)
was a gifted man and influential politician. He ruled over Tashkent and the
Fergana Valley, and was remembered by posterity as a wise ruler.
Interestingly, Yunus Khan was a descendant of Genghis Khan, and his grandson was the great military leader and poet Zakhiriddin Babur.
The Yunus Khan Mausoleum is one of
the largest surviving 15th-century structures, with a pointed portal and double
dome. The mausoleum was once a haven for dervishes and pilgrims, who were
housed in special cells.
The entrance portal is decorated with calligraphic inscriptions and a carved door.
Interestingly, the mausoleum itself
contains no burial site, and its location is unknown, but the mausoleum upholds
the ruler's memory.
The mausoleum is located on the
grounds of the Islamic University.
