The Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi is located in the town of Yasi, in present-day Turkestan, and was built during the Timurid period, between 1389 and 1405 AD. In this partially unfinished building, Persian master builders experimented with the architecture that would later be built in Samarkand, the capital of the Timurid Empire. Today, it is one of the largest and best-preserved buildings from the Timurid period.
