DOR US SIADAD

The "house of power and will" was built by Tamerlan for Djahangir, his favourite son, who died prematurely in 1375. Tamerlan's pain was immense and explains the construction of the mausoleum which, according to Clavijo, was decorated with gold and azure. The ensemble was largely destroyed by the Emir of Bukhara, together with the White Palace. But the mullahs managed to save some of it by making the Emir believe that the mausoleum of Jahangir supported that of a saint. Another son of Tamerlan, Omar Sheikh, lies in the deputy mausoleum.
