About the place

The mausoleum stands over the grave of Khodja Amin, a local religious figure, and dates from the 18th century, when Namangan was still a growing town. It is a compact domed building fronted by a tall portal.

The portal is the reason to come. Its surface is built up from carved terracotta and glazed bricks set in geometric and floral patterns.
