Kazakhstan: Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi

Today I got two postcards from Kazakhstan.

One of them shows the Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi in Turkestan. The Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi was built between 1389 and 1405 to replace an older mausoleum of the famous Turkic poet and Sufi mystic. It was built at the behest of Mongul ruler Timur and is the first example of the Timurid architectural style. In 2003 it became the first UNESCO World Heritage Site of Kazakhstan.

Stamps:

Thank You very much Jane!
