Kok Gumbaz Mosque
Kok Gumbaz Mosque in Shahrisabz, Uzbekistan, dates from the 16th century and is notable for its large turquoise dome and the surviving carved stone portal attributed to the Timurid period. The single-domed prayer hall sits within a rectangular courtyard framed by thick walls and features sunlit interior proportions that emphasize the dome’s height and glazed tilework fragments. Visitors appreciate the mosque’s historic setting adjacent to the ruins of the Ak-Saray palace complex, which together illustrate Shahrisabz’s role as Timur’s birthplace and a Timurid architectural center.
