A memorial and religious building of the XIV century in Samarkand, the burial place of the Islamic preacher, theologian and scientist Sheikh Burhaneddin Klych Sagarji.
The Rukhabad Mausoleum was built by order of Amir Temur in 1380 over the grave of the Islamic religious figure Sheikh Burhaneddin Sagarji, originally from the town of Sagarj, who became famous for spreading Islam among the nomads of East Turkestan.
Soon after the construction, the Rukhabad Mausoleum becomes one of the most revered buildings in Samarkand.
In subsequent years, the area around the mausoleum was repeatedly built up. In 1880-1882, a Chinese-style quarter mosque appeared next to the mausoleum. In the middle of the XIX century, a one-story madrasah, a minaret, and a swimming pool were built on the site of dilapidated buildings.
The mosque and minaret have survived to this day. The portal entrance with a pointed arch, flanked by turrets-guldasta, and gatehouse structures have been preserved from the madrasah.
