Kok Gumbaz, Shakhrisab

Kok Gumbaz Mosque (1435-1436) takes its name from its blue dome. It was built by Amir Timur's grandson Ulug Beg in honor of his father Shah Rukh, who was Timur's son. It is the centerpiece of the madrassah Dorut Tilovat. Just below the dome, transcripts from Koran cover the big portion of the Kok Gumbaz. Dome from insude has been restored to show the original decorations.
