Located behind the Gour Emir, the "White Palace" is a mausoleum dating from 1470, renovated a few years ago and still surrounded by houses. Much quieter than its larger neighbor, you can admire a blue and gold dome, frescoes and beautiful bas-reliefs (in the main hall). Some historians believe it to be the mausoleum of the male descendants of the Timurids. Others believe it was built by nobles close to Tamerlane. A decapitated skeleton has been discovered in the crypt and may be that of Abd-al-Latif, the parricidal son of Ulug Begh.

A la limite de la zone touristique, ce petit mausolée possède de très belles fresques et mosaïques bien restaurées. Visite à réaliser absolument après celle du Gour Emir
