 Today we went to Samanid's mausoleum






The monument of early medieval architecture located in the historic center of Bukhara, in the park broken on the place of the ancient cemetery. The mausoleum was under construction in the 9th century (between 892 and 943). It is found and restored in the 20th century. Is one of architectural masterpieces of Central Asia and a pearl of world architecture? In the mausoleum, there are three burials, one of which belongs to Ahmad ibn Ismail, Ismail Samani's son.
