The Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi is a complex of palace and temple structures, a true masterpiece of architecture that rightfully deserves its inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List. This mausoleum is a unique combination of a place of worship, a mosque, and a khanaka, a place for religious rituals.
Externally, the complex appears as a symmetrical and compact structure, comprising up to 35 rooms connected by corridors, passages, and staircases. These rooms are arranged around the Kazandik, the central hall, which is the largest in the complex.
Among these rooms, the mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, the mosque, palace halls, library (kitabkhana), and utility complex stand out, including the well (kudukhana), kitchen (askhana), living quarters (khudjry), and others. All of these elements are united in a harmonious architectural complex, serving as a magnificent testament to medieval architecture and religious culture. The Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi is not only a place of worship but also a unique monument of art that you can see with your own eyes thanks to the DWC tour company.
