Shah-i-Zinda Necropolis

A major place of pilgrimage since the 11th Century, Shah-i-Zindah Necropolis, Shrine of the Living King, is a royal cemetery built by Timur for his family and friends,
clothing their mausoleums, both inside and out, with vivid mosaic panels, exquisitely embossed tiles, carved ceramic columns and brilliantly polished brickwork
