Saif ed-Din Bokharzi & Bayan-Quli Khan Mausoleums
Located in the Fatabad district on the outskirts of Bukhara, these two side-by-side mausoleums honor a Sufi saint and a Mongol ruler. The site contains the remains of a larger religious complex, providing an example of Central Asian Islamic architecture and funerary traditions.
