Kunya Urgench - Najmiddin Kubra and Sultan Ali Mausoleum Complex

Najmiddin Kubra mausoleum (constructed in 1320-30)

The mausoleum, with its beautifully aquamarine majolica portal decorations, holds the tomb of Najmiddin Kubra (1145-1221), a renowned Sufi leader and founder of the Kubra order.

Directly opposite is the mausoleum of Khorezmshah Sultan Ali (XV! c.), the design of which is considered a poor copy of the Turabek Khanym mausoleum built two centuries earlier.
