About the place
The Bibi Buvayda mausoleum stands in Buvayda district in the west of Fergana region and dates from the 15th or 16th century. It is a compact brick building measuring about 18 by 8.5 metres, and it is one of the few medieval monuments that survive in this part of the valley.
Uzbekistan has placed it on its tentative list for UNESCO as part of the Fergana–Syrdarya corridor of the Silk Roads. It is a local pilgrimage place rather than a big tourist sight, and about twenty minutes is enough. Combine it with Kokand or the Rishtan potteries if you are driving across the valley.
Why go
- 15th–16th-century brick mausoleum
- On UNESCO's tentative list
