About the place

The Qizilmozor Mausoleum stands in the village of Bobur, also called Taqachi, about 3 km northwest of Bekabad in the south of Tashkent region. Its name means red shrine. The building is dated broadly to the 16th–18th centuries, and little has been published about who is buried here.

It is a compact structure measuring 13.1 by 11.3 metres and rising 10.5 metres to the top of its dome. Bekabad lies on the Syr Darya where the river leaves the Fergana Valley, close to the border with Tajikistan, and the mausoleum is an easy side trip from the town.

Why go

  • Compact domed tomb
  • 10.5 m high including the dome
  • Short trip from Bekabad
